OPA News
The need for more specialized
price control for the building and
construction industry in Alaska
has been met by an amendment
to Revised Maximum Price Reg
ulation No. 251 (Construction
Services and Sales of Installed
Building Materials), effective in
Alaska on January 9,1945, ac
cording to announcement today
by the Territorial Office of the
OPa in Juneau.
Services covered cou!d be any
thing from simple repair of a roof
leak to the construction of a unit
such as the Hoonah Housing
Project. Also included are such
jobs as stringing of new tele
phone or power lines, construc
tion of streets and sewers and
ordinary household repair and
service jobs by plumbers, paper
hangers, carpenters and electri
cians.
Contractors will find the ceil
ings thus established the general
equivalent of those in effect in
March 1942, with automatic ad
justments permitted for increas
es occuring since 1942 in, labor
and material (within certain lim
itations) . By following specifica
tions set forth in the regulation
itself sucti adjustments can be
made without applying to OPA.
Formulas for figuring ceiling
prices on unit price, cost-plus,
and lump-sum jobs are also pro.
vided
Sellers of these services are
urged to secure their copies of
the regulation and a supplemen
tary Trade Bulletin from the
nearest OPA local board or field
office before entering into any
further contracts or sales of their
services.
In recent weeks it has come to
the attention of the Rationing
Division of the Territorial Office
of Price Administration that the
public isn’t fully aware of the
seriousness of the situation which
demands that eligibility of ap
plicants for purchase certificates
be given the strictest examina
tion.
“This prompts us to again (
warn the public that a used 1942
car may be sold only to a person
who has received a purchase cer
tificate of eligibility from the lo
cal OPA board,” said Paul Her
ring, chairman of the rationing
panel.
An article appeared in the
Mirror last week, stating that

the Office of Defense transpor
tation “has frozen all used com
mercial motor vehicles and all
prospective sellers and purchas
ers are advised that no sale is
legal unless specifically approved
by the Office of Defense Trans
portation, Fairbanks.”
A wire received Wednesday
this week from Juneau states
that the above information as
supplied by them is incorrect, as
the WPB directive covering
used trucks does not apply to
Alaska.
