Increases In Retail
Meat Prices

Slightly increased ceiling prices OF
meats at the retail level have beell
announced by the OPA effective as oi
April /. The Maryland OPA state
Office said that ceiling price posters
showing the changes will be in the
hands of the retailers. The price listS
must be displayed in the stores.
Except for Allegany and Garrett
Counties, which are in Zone s, ali d
Maryland is in OPA Price Zone 8, the
same as New York City. About the
end of the month, OPA said minia-
ture retail ceiling price lists will be
available for distribution to consulH
ers throughout the State.
The increase to the consumer Will
average only one half cent to on
cent per pound, the OPA said, and
pointed out that with the supply pie
ture indicating per capita consump
ton of meat for the year cannot eA
ceed 1876 pounds, the slightly Eighe'
prices will have no significant bear
ing on overall living cost. The price
increases have been allowed to cove,
the recent wage and salary raises in
the meat packing inudstry, and will
offset the higher prices which the re
tailers must pay wholesalers.

81.
Under the law, motorists are re-
auired to post within 60 days OF an

Will Be Issued

will be provided for State motor We
hicles next year, Governor OConor
announced Monday.

The decision to go forward with
plans for permanent registration tags
was announced after conference
