' Poge 6 Sub,, Jn, 18, 1B5! Reglater-Guird, Eugene, Ore, Lumbermen Hear Ceiling Explained Some confusion over log ceil y lng prices was at least partially - cleared lor some 200 loeeers and " lumbermen at a meeting spon- i sored by the Western Forest In- dustries Association at the Os- : burn Hotel Saturday. Merton T. Owre, a business an. alyst for the Office of Price Sta. . bilization lumber division in Port land, explained ceiling price reg. ulations and answered questions in a three-hour session that closed with several loggers wondering how many rules they had vio- ; lated. The log ceiling prices went into effect in November, superseding those in effect during the gen eral price freeze under which lumbermen had been working. Although nine kinds of logs are covered by the law, Douglas fir logs were of main interest here. For purposes of ceiling prices, five areas were formed, each with different price ceilings dependent on previous prices. The two areas nearest Eugene are the Lane-Douglas District and the Oregon-California District. Boundaries Explained Lane-Douglas includes Lane and Douglas Counties east of the crest of the Coast range, with the south ern boundary a line drawn from Rice Hill near Cottage Grove to the crest of the Coast range. (The crest line roughly passes near Horton, Noti, Vaughn, swings east near Panther and Hadleyville, then to Lorane, west to the Elk Creek Ranger Station, and to the southern border.) The Oregon-California District covers the remainder of Lane and Douglas Counties, the rest of southwest Oregon, and some of California. The ceilings range from $100 per thousand board feet . on Douglas fir peeler No. 1 logs to $.17.50 on sawmill No. 3 Douglas fir, in the Lane-Douglas District. In the Oregon-California District, the prices are $10 less on peeler logs, and $2.50 less on sawmill logs. Although a price on "camp run" logsi (those harvested under an agreement to take all cut in an area regardless or grade) was set in the Oregon-California District, no ceiling was placed on these logs in the Lane-Douglas area. None on Second Growth So, Owre told the loggers to sell or buy at the lowest ceiling price established for mature Douglas fir logs in this area. This price, for sawmill No. 3 logs, was $37.50 a thousand. Another problem that arose concerned second growth Douglas fir. No price was established for this category either, so Owre told the group that the general price freeze still applies here. In other words, the highest price that a logger got for one of these logs during the base periods estab lished in December, 1950, and ending Jan. 25, 1951, would be his maximum selling figure. Owre admitted that this could be unfair, since one logger may have received a higher price than I his neighbor because of good bar gaining. In the Lane-Douglas area, a log is considered "delivered," insofar as price ceilings are concerned, when it is actually received by the buyer at one of three loca tions: Towable waters, the buyer's mill, or a common carrier ship ping point agreed upon. If delivered elsewhere, a reduc tion in the ceiling price is neces sary, Owre said, to compensate for the lesser services performed. In other words, if the log stops ten miles short of the mill, the ceiling is reduced by the Cost of the ten mile haul. Rules Set Forth If the log is not graded and scaled, the ceiling is reduced by the Cost nf thpsp ROrvir-nc. Tf lnffc are sold at ceiling prices, the seller must pay at least half of the ffradine and srnlinrf pnete. Th buyer may pay half. Anyone satisfactory to the buyer and seller may grade logs, but grading bureau rules must be followed. A grading statement or certi ficate must be attached to every invoice. An accredited scaler must be independent and not an employe of either buyer or seller. Export logs take the price of the district in which they are pro duced. Domestic logs take the price of the district in which they are sold. If a log does not fit the price table because of something spe cial about it, a special price may be applied for with the director of price stabilization in Washing ton, D. C. Prices do not have to be filed with the OPS, but adequate records must be kept, Owre said Violators are subject to triple damages in a civil suit, or two years in the penitentiary and a $10,000 fine on criminal charges.
