SERVICES MUST FILE
'AND POST PRICES
Several drastic changes in Of
fice of Price Stabilization regula
tions will be put into effect in
Alaska during the month of Sep- 1
tember.
Although Alaskans can look
for no reduction in prices, the
changes will enable O.P.S. to
keep closer check on prevailing
prices and insure against unwar
ranted increases.
r Latest congressional action pro
hibits rolling back prices, but fu
ture increases on nearly all com
modities at all levels will be care
fully scrutinized by O.P.S. to as
certain if such increases are with
in the regulations.
One important change in the
regulations is the requirement
that all sellers of services file
their price: lists, with the.Terri
torial Office of Price Stabiliza
tion. Services Must File and Post
Prices!
Specific types of businesses af
fected are laundries, cleaning and
pressing shops, bowling alleys,
funeral homes, transfer and stor- ■
^ age businesses, auto repair and
all other types of repair shops
which charge the customer an
hourly rate.

Saw Logs Exempt From
Price Control in '51
JUNEAU—Saw logs produced
In Alaeka and consumed by Al
aska's saw milts are exempt from
pnee control until December 31,
1951. Fred G Hanford. Territorial
Director of the Office of Price
Stabilization announced. The ex
emption was effective August 31.)
Alaskan logs have been subject
to control under the general ceil
ing price regulation, which froze
logs at the highest level existing
between December 19. 1950-Janu
ary 26. 1951.
Since the logging industry is
virtually inoperative at that time
—the normal season runs from
May to November—many opera
tors found it impossible to deter
j mine ceiiing prices for the cur
rent season.
The result has been a curtail
ment of production of saw logs
in Alaska. To remedy the situa
tion and encourage production.
O.P.S. decided to remove controls
for the balance of the season.
