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

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.

We are just in receipt of a tele

"Being shorted on gas. Our
apportionment is 152 gallons per

they are being furnished with 25
per cent of the regular normal
allotment, cr 25 per cent of the
allotment to which they are en
titled under the restriction.
We are forwarding this telegram
to you, hoping that you will be

the allotment of gas to which
they are entitled.
