Federal controls widen but exemptions rise under new policy
The Cost of Living Council trims the reach of federal controls by exempting about 21 percent of typical living costs. Major items spared include raw farm products, seafood, life insurance, postal rates, exports, imports, stocks and bonds. Prices: 1,500 large firms must pre notify the Price Commission. medium firms file quarterly. small firms face spot checks. Rentals for landlords with four units or fewer living on site are largely free from controls, with automatic 2.5 percent rent increases after 30 days notice plus pass-through of new taxes and certain improvements.
