Amendm ent 2 to RMPR 5 39--Custom Milling And Kiln Drying of Western Softwoods

Washington, D. C., November 15.-A limitation on the number of lines of ripping or resawing, or both, of Western softwood lumber for which custom mills may charge established dollar-and-cent ceilings was announced by the Office of Price Administration today.

Today's action, effective November 20, 1945,limits sales by custom mills of these services on Western softvn'ood lumber for which established dollar-and-cent ceilings may be charged to not more than three lines of 6/4 inch or thinner stock or a combination of 8/4 inch and 6/4 inch or thinner stock, and not more than two lines of ripping and resawing in thicker stock.

Today's action provides, however, exemption to the limitation when government agencies request milling services on lumber held in inventory on the effective date of this amendment and for purchasers requesting precision resawing to a thickness of f{ inches or less. In these cases, custom rnills nay apply to OPA for permission to charge for more lines.

These exceptions, OPA said, will give legitimate purchasers the benefit of extra milling services and will enable government agencies having stocks of heavy timber on hand to replenish their supply of boards and dimensions by remanufacturing timbers rvithout making new purchases.

OPA pointed out, however, custom mills may charge back excess lines to producing mills if mutually satisfactory, but costs for this work cannot be passed on to the customer.

In order that ceilings may be more commensurate with the cost incurred in servicing Western softwood lumber, today's action also provides that ripping and resawing must be charged for on the basis of the size of the stock that is actually ripped or resawn, instead of on the basis of the original size and footage, as formerly.

For example, under today's action, if 1,000 board feet of 6 by 6 timbers are resawn to a 2 inch tfiickness, the charge for the second cut will not be based on the resawing of 1,000 board feet of 6 by 6 timber, but on the resawing of 667 board feet of 4 by 6 inches timber.

The new method of pricing will result, OPA said, in increased prices in some few cases where the decrease in footage is more than offset by the increase in the cutting charge allowed. In other cases, the two offset each other. On the whole, however, there will probably be a net decrease in prices on account of today's action, since for most cuttings the reduction due to the drop in footage is not offset by the higher charges allowed for cutting smaller sizes.

This revision will remove the inequity of the former method of pricing which allowed premium prices for additional cuts, and the reduction will also bring prices more closely in line with the intention of OPA when prices were first established.

Today's action also permits an additional charge of $6.50 per car to the open car handling charge if the buyer of Western softwood lumber requests packaging the load for mechanical unloading.

This addition will cover, OPA said, the direct cost of this service, and is similar to that allowed under other regulations.

Packaging is more in demand'than formerly. Unloading is 'facilitated and the handling costs are thus reduced, OPA said.

(Amendment No. 2 to Revised Maximum Price Regulation 539-Custom Milling and Kiln Drying of Western Softwoods-effective November 20, 1945).

New Sources of Lumber

The November 1945 issue of the Reference Book of the Lurnbermen's National Red Book Service is just off the press. It is the 128th issue of the book, which is a semi-annual consolidation of that service's twice-a-week bulletin of changes in the lumber and woodworking industries.

Lumbermen's Credit Association, Inc., Chicago 5, and New York 5, publishers of this service, advise that as compared with the issue of six months ago, there are dozens of newly listed sawmills, some of which are brand new sources of lumber, others are mills which have resumed.

For the past 69 years, practically the entire lumber industry, and many other industries marketing through retail lumber dealers, or selling to furniture and other woodworking factories have used this service as their guide in credit and collection work. They have also found that as an aid in sales promotion and as a guide to sources of lumber and allied products there is nothing as good.

Amendment 2 to MPR 589--Douglas Fir Stock Millwork

Washington, D. C., November 16.-An increase of 11.4 per cent in manufacturers' ceiling prices for Douglas fir open windows and sash was announced today by the Office of Price Administration.

The increase becomes effective November 20, 1945.

The price adjustment is being made because previous ceiling prices were not high enough to cover factory costs of production of all producers.

Prices to consumers remain unchanged as the price increase will be absorbed by jobbers and retailers.
