Court Decision Cited
But MIR. Powell challenged Mr..
Hammond's arguments by citing
Ia State Supreme Court decision
involving Lucerne Dairy. The
court held prices could not be
fixed at different levels for Diff
ferent containers-in this case,
cardboard cartons versus glass
bottles. The court held the same
price must be charged for the
same grade of milk, regardless of
containers
Consequently. reasoned Mr..
Powell, no material difference in
price could be set merely because
of bottling in gallon containers.
Mr.. Powell also cited a Safe
way Stores case before the State
Supreme Court in which it was
held that the minimum and
maximum prices had to be
established according to repre-
sentative reasonable costs"
He mentioned a University Of
Connecticut study which showed
"a saving Of only three-tenths of
Ia quart by use Of the gallon jug.
Mr.. Stephens contended it is
the practice of Highs to charge
the customer IS cents for the
gallon container and then "buy
lit back" for the same price when
lit is returned.
"I'm tired of hearing about
cheap milk" he said. The farm
Ter producers, he said, place too
much stress on prices paid for
Glass l milk rather than the
blend price"-that is, the price
they receive for all grades Of
milk they sell to distributors.
He cited figures from two Mary
land producer associations to
show that his firms purchases
had increased overall profits to
ldairymen.
Arthur B. Hanson, attorney
for Safeway Stores, renewed
earlier requests that the COM
mission remove its retail price
fixing powers. The public hear
ling was called specifically to
consider the gallon jug question.
The commission took the
arguments under advisement for
Ia decision later.
