Write Williams disputes Pocono CEQ report to know The people in The Pocono Record circtilation area have a "Write to Know" and The Record will try to provide the answers in the "Write to Know" column. The column, designed to answer any questions or solve any problems (consumer, government or anything else) will appear every Monday on the first page of the second section.

No telephone calls, pleo.se. Q. How is the price of milk set? One of our local' dairies has raised the price of home delivered milk several limes in (he past year. The latest raise was August 14. I thought the milk control board had to pass on only raises and that the state government was trying to keep price levels stable while it investigated the high price of Pennsylvania milk.

Mrs. T.C., Stroudsburg R.D. 1 A. As it now stands, the price of milk has no ceiling but has a cellar fixed by the state milk marketing board to prevent undercutting in the dairy produce business. Minimum prices set by the board vary according to the type of container and the quantity of milk sold.

According to a spokesman from Pocono Mountain Dairies, prices now go up due to costs in carrying and delivering. So a brief answer to your question would be market conditions control the upward trend of prices, but the same market conditions can't drive the prices down below a regulated level. The Price Commission in Washington D.C. does not regulate the tag on perishables. Q.

Recently we purchased "required" gym clothes for our children. The bill came to $41. Since the articles are a "must" at East Stroudsburg Junior-Senior High School, may they be used as a lax deduction? Mrs.

J.M., East Stroudsburg A. According to a spokesman from the Personal Income Tax Bureau, of the Department of Revenue, Bethlehem, there are no provisions provided for such a deduction on the income fax. Q. Can you tell me if the state has paid any of the 1971 property tax refunds to senior citizens?
