    GASOLiWE RATIONS
URGED BY AUTO MEN
Garage and Repair Men's As
sociation Has Plan.
CAMPAIGN IS POSTPONED
fte;ulaUon of Fuel by Distribution
by Public Service Commis
sion Is Suggested.
Regulation of gasoline distribution
In thi state by the public service
commission of Oregon is sought by
members of the Portland Garage and
Repair MSn's association. Plans have
been made to wage a campaign to en
list aid for the plan from residents of
Oregon prior to the next session of
the legislature, when it is planned to
present the gasoline problem to the
legislators and request action.
In California the sale of gasoline
comes under the regulation of the
state railroad commission, a body sim
ilar to the public service commission
In this state. Sentiment throughout
the country, it is said, favors placing
the distribution of gasoline under the
Jurisdiction of the interstate com
merce commission.
Shortage Bits Agio Dealers.
The present gasoline shortage bas
been a severe blow to motorcar deal
ers and garage men. Although of
ficials of the oil companies have is
sued frequent statements assuring the
public that the gasoline shortage was
a temporary one, to bo relieved as
quickly as new refining processes
have been completed, the prospective
automobile buyers have been slow in
making purchases, fearful of a per
manent shortage.
The members of the garage men's
association charge the oil companies
with discrimination, claiming that the
small garages have received no gaso
line, while the filling stations have
been operating constantly.
Restrictions on the sale of gasoline
are now in effect by the Standard Oil
company and the Associated Oil com
pany. Others May Follow Salt.
Officials of the Union and Shell oil
companies claim they will be forced
again to place restrictions on the sale
of gasoline unless relief comes in the
way of large cargoes.
Under present restrictions the
Standard is allowing 20 per cent tank
capacity to pleasure vehicles and 75
per cent to commercial trucks and
cars. The Associated is allowing 20
and 50 per cent.
Additional stocks of gasoline will
reach Portland about July 10, when
greater rations probably will be al
lowed to pleasure cars and commercial
vehicles.
