 62 STAT.] 80TH CONG., 2D SESS.- CHS. 779-781-JUNE 30, 1948 Maximum Price Regulation 173. Each such overcharge resulted solely from the fact that a shipment of mill feed was made by such company under a bill of lading taken in the name of such company, so that title remained in such company until the feed reached its point of destination, and, therefore, under the language of such regulation the selling price had to be computed on the basis of the sale taking place at such point. Such regulation was amended, effective January 29, 1945, to permit the use of such bill of lading without the necessity of computing the selling price on such basis. Following the promul- gation of such amendment to Revised Maximum Price Regulation 173, suits against other feed mills for similar violations of such regulation were dismissed by the Office of Price Administration with- out payment of any settlement, thus leaving the said Cannon Valley Milling Company in the position of being the only feed mill to suffer a penalty for such violations. Approved June 30, 1948. [CHAPTER 780] AN ACT For the relief of James W.
