the tribune stouffville ont thursday june 22th 1944 wptb questions typical questions consumers have asked the wartime prices trade board this week are answered by the central ontario consumer branch committee q is there a ceiling price on doc tors fees my doctor has more than doubled his charges in the past two years and as there is no other doctor in town at the present time we are forced to pay whatever he charges a professional fees such as doctors and lawyers do not come under the rules and regu- lations of the prices board it is very difficult to place a ceil ing price on any service which depends entirely on individual skill and talent q i recently purchased a used ice box and paid 1400 it only holds 50 lbs of ice and leaks so badly we have to keep it out doors is a dealer allowed to charge such a price fora small ice box a it would be impossible to ad v vise you as to whether or not you were overcharged without knowing the exact type of box you bought some are made of metal and others of different types of wood so naturally there is a wide variety of prices a dealer may charge 80 of the value of the ice box when new if it is in good condition if it is not in good condition there should be a reduction in price to allow for repairs if you feel you were overcharged take all details of the purchase to the local representative of the board in your town and he will
