Amendm ent 4 to MPR-215 ---Dimension Lumber

Douglcrs Fir Henrlock Cedar

Washington, D. C., March 25.-The definition of dimension lumber in the price regulation on distribution yard sales of softwood lumber was revised today by the Office of Price Administration to include stock up to 24 feet in length and to conform to descriptions of dimension lumber in other lumber regulations.

Under the change, accomplished by Amendment No. 4 to Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 (Distribution Yard Sales of Softwood Lumber),, dimension lumber now covers all items two inches in thickness in the width of 12 inches or less and up to 24 f.eet in length. Previously only twoinch stock items up to Z2 feet in length were classed as dimension by the regulation.

The effect of the redefinition is to make an item of twoinch stock 24 f.eet in length a piece of dimension rather than a timber size which results in effec,t in a reduction of price. Non-standard or timber sizes produced from ripping and resawing from the original size can be sold at the mill price of the original size plus the remanufacturing charges specified in the regulation. Ilowever, if board or dimension sizes are produced from the original size, the remanufacturing charges cannot be added, and only the ceiling established for the dimension size can be charged.

The amendment, effective March 31, also clarified the percentage mark-up provisions applying to "CPA Contract Yards" which are yards operating under special arrarlge-

ments to maintain stock-piles of lumber for distribution in accordance with directions from agencies of the War Department.

In sales of softwood lumber from a CPA yard to another distribution yard, the percentage mark-up is limited to five percent, which is the same mark-up provided for sales be,tween distribution yards. A lack of the express linritation caused some confusion in the industry

In issuing the amendment, OPA published the text of Regulation 215 complete with all changes made by todayos and earlier amendments.
