Grocer Fined by OPA Report At Point Pleasant
A Point Pleasant grocer was fined $50 by the OPA price panel for an overcharge claim involving meat. The grocer contends a relative of a panel member influenced the complaint after beef roast was bought and Hamburger meat priced at 32 cents instead of 28. He has not paid the fine. Prosecutor William H. Bardin offers to defend, with another attorney also volunteering. The grocer is well regarded and friends say the overcharge was an error rather than intentional.
