Regional Administrators

Washington, D. C., Oct. 31-To simplify and speed the pricing of some essential builidng materials in localities where construction is about to be resumed, Office of Price Administrationregiona1administratorsmayauthorizedistrict directors to establish uniform dollar-and-cent cornmunty-wide ceiling prices on these goods, OPA said today.',,

In an action, effective November 5, 1945, OPA authorized regional administrators to re-delegate to district di- '' rectors the job of fixing community ceilings on selected ''' building materials. In two actions to be issued shortly, ,. the authority will be made specific with respect to Douglas ' fir plywood and doors, stock millwork, stock screen goods, mechanic or building equipment and some construction materials. Installation charges also may receive commun-' _. ity ceilings, OPA said.

Authoritywasgivenseveralu'eeksagotoregionaladministratorstofixsuchceilings,OPAsaid,buttheredelegation provision was inadvertently omitted from that ' action.

Community dollar-and-cent ceilings will reflect the general level of prices under the applicable regulation-which may be "freeze" prices, or prices calculated by the seller under a formula provided in the regulation-OPA said Community ceilings are determined only after a study of local conditions and selling prices. and do not change the existing level of costs to the consumer, OPA said.

They have the advantage, however, of easing the seller's accounting problems and simplifying the job of enforce' ment, OPA said. Since community ceilings are posted in retail shops, buyers are aware of top legal prices for , all items.

(Amendment No. I to General Order No. 68-Regional Administrators-effective November 5. 1945.)
