Sunday, June 13, Roast Pork Dinner 75 Gas for Maupin At a conference held June llrd, in the city of Portland by repre sentatives from the Governor's ollice, the civic and business in terests of the city, (the managers of the four gasoline companies being present), it was made plain to all of the shortage of gasoline not only in the state of Oregon, but in the slates north, south and east of us. There was no inclination on the part of any Portland inter t to discriminate against the balance of the stale and everyone nn-ed that Portland, together with every town in the stale, should receive the regular proportion ob gasoline allotted to Oregon, This shortage may conlinuo for eight or ten weeks and it is necessary that every user of gasoline conserve as much as possible during this period of time. Prevention of waste and unnecessary use will I, assist materially in solving this! problem. It is the duty of every cilizen to sue that the engines of automobiles are not allowed to idle while standing at the curb, as thousands of gallons are wasted eyery day from this cause. It is a well known fact that during the Shrine, Rose Festival, Travelers' Protective Association and the Kiwauis Club National Conventions, a large amount of gasoline will be needed in enter tainment of the visitors. This entertainment is not confined to Portland only, but many parties will wish to go to different part? of the 'state and we recommend that eyery section adopt such Cash at Jory's Groceries Meat & Vegetables Bread Cash at Jory's' measures as are necessary to con serve gasoline during this emerg ency for the next few weeks. Kor your information will state that the following resolution was adopted, having reference to inters of gasoline in the city of Portland First that the allotation of gaso line by the oil companies to the oiil-atate for industrial purposes is hereby approved, Second that the daily gasololine ration for pleasuro vehicles he not over 20 per cent of the tank capac ity when leaving the station after tilling, and that the daily gasoline ration for commercial ' machines, be not over 75 per cent of the tank capacity when leaving the station after tilling. Third that except in case of absolutely necessary use motorists ii i urged to leave their cars at hinne. Commercial cars defined as follows; 1. Automotive transportation of freight and passeegers for hire. 2. Hotel busses, taxicabs or sight neeing vehicles, stages. 8. Lelivery and food convey ancee, when so used. 4, Road construction trans portation. 5. Municipal, state, county or school transportation, cars when used in the discharge of public service. Physicians' eirs, ambulances, Many telegrams were read from different sections of the state as well a3 from adjoining states and we find the condition- lire alarm ing- industries, trucks, farm tractors and necessary deliveries using gasoiine should be shown it prefer ence in all cases and we trust some plflii will be put inlo ffeet that will bring about the disiied result. Every section must ad' pt regulations mat win oesi serve rs own interest and we are wii'ing this letter to make known how seriously Porlland considers this question and the action it has taken, Representatives of the four oil companies stated to the committee that every section of the state would receive its regular allotment and if any gasoline ia saved for the convention period in Portland it must be saved by the citizens of Portland from the Portand allota tion. Should you kuow of any section against which there is a discrimin ation in the allotment of gasulind, we seould be pleased to have you advise some member of this com mittee. Pleaue give this information the widest publicity possible. Committee: George Quayle, chairman for Oegou State Chamber of Com merce. W. F. McKenney, for Oregon State Motor Association. . M. O.
