It was argued by Shinne'rs that the maximum authority of the municipal court would have been to fine the woman $1000 or give Iter a jail sentence of one year. . according to tba law of 131SV but he also arged that the mu nicipal eourt has no mere authority than that of the justice courts, established in 1915, and that at that time there was no such crima as. that of breaking quar antine, and therefore the sentence waa illegal and void. i i Deputy District Attorney Magulre and Attorney Molnturff argued that ' while the municipal court has authority to impose a jail sentence of one year, as a punitive measure, there- is also within Its discretion the alternative of sending the girl, for her own benefit, to the state industrial school.; Various author ities were cited, and Judge Kavanaugh took the matter under; advisement.

W CLARK - - Vice-President and General Manager, Union Oil Company of Calif ornia On Tuesday night, August 3, the following telegram was sent to the Gov ernors of California, Oregon and Washington; to the Mayors of all the principal cities of these states; to the various Chambers of Commerce, and to the publishers of the great newspapers of the Pacific Coast. This message speaks for itself . f v i IjOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 1920. It is an established fact that the XSnlted States now consumes 436,000, 000 barrels of cfude oil a year, while only 402.000,000 , barrels are produced. This leaves a' national short age of nearly 34,000,000 barrels. j , There are more than 7.500,000 automobiles and motor trucks in the United States, as compared with 700,000 in 1911. For your information th consumption of Califor nia oil Is estimated at 110,000,000 barrels for this year, while onty approximately 100,OOS,000 barrels will be produced. This leaves an actual shortage of at least 10,000,000 barrels. ' 1 In the year 1919 the total production of gasoline in the State of California was approximately 300. 000.000 gallons. I The production for the year 1920 is (estimated at! 400.000,000 gallons. The estimated consumption of tha Paciflo Coast states for the year 1920 is estimated at approximately 650,000,000 gal lons, leaving a Shortage of approximately 150,000,000 gallons. - v ; 'J ' ; : I " . . ; In view of these facts the Union OH Company of California closed Its export offices early In the year and has been making every possible effort to meet the oil. gasoline and disUIlate Shortages. - ( ;."-'!:' " !' At the same time we' have attempted to retain on the Pacific Coast the present low gasoline prices, which are lower than at any other point In the entire world. But it haa. been absolutely impossible to supply the gasoline required at the present low prices. Automobiles have been strictly rationed even through the producing sections of California. Recently representatives of the various marketing companies, civic bodies and essential industries were called before the Board of Public Utilities of Ixa Angeles for the purpose of considering the present gasoline situation and determining how best to handle it. At thia conference we stated that we could help to relieve the i situation by importing gasoline, or could continue) to sell only what was possible for us to produce In this state. . - n At the unanimous request of those Interested, including the city of Los Angeles, we adopted the policy of importation. In pursuance of this policy we have purchased and are now shipping gasoline from M the mid-continent field and there hive aire ay been shipped to us seven solid train loads, containing 17$ tank cars of gasoline. Arrangements have been completed for additional shipments. The Union Oil Company of California hopes that it will be able by this importation to take care of its portion of the tremendous peak load require ments of the Pacific Coast for the months of August ' and September. ; ... Gasoline purchased in the mid-continent field costs us 24 c per gallon f. o. b. shipping point, to which must be added 6.43 .cents per gallon for freight. ; The total delivered ric is 30.CS cents per gallon. In i addition thereto we must stand the shrinkage In transit and the extra cost of storage and distribution. , For this reason we find It necessary to increase the price of gasoline under our existing schedules throughout the Pacific Coast. Tou will note that we are not charging the entire coat of importation against the gasoline Imported, but are , spreading the lead on as- equitable a basis as is humanly ' possible. j . .- i ' - a a Therefore, effective Wednesday morning, August 4th. the price of our gasoline to the consumer at basic distributing points will be as follows: Seattle ....iSo Portland. ...J9c (Including state - San Francisco.... 2 7c road tax) Sacramento ..27tto - Fresno 27 c Ban plego ...... itHo Stockton ...... ...$7Ho -. Oakland. ..S7c ..-v.. -;! San Jose ..27c t . Los Angeles 27c I' It would be absolutely Impossible for the Union Oil Company of California to carry the load of the purchase and transportation of this imported gaso line without this Increase In price. -si . It is only fair that the public should know that the Union Oil Company of California is manufac turer1 g and will continue to manufacture all the gasoline possible from Its- available supplies of refining crude oils, and that it is not exporting any gasoline from the Pacific Coast The Board of Public Utilities of the city of Los Angelea, the Los Angeles Chamber . of Commerce and the Chamber of Mines and Oils qf California have made a thorough and impartial investigation 'of the present shortage of petroleum products and the underlying Causes thereof, and their findings are available to all who seek further information. I believe It necessary that you have the Informa tion immediately and at first hand so that the sit uation may be thoroughly understood. - It is for this reason that X am writing you direct. E. W.
