The appointments are TO fill the vacau-
cies until the expiration of the terms of
the appointments.
Reports have been filed with Cover
nor Elrod by the oil inspectors for the
northern and southern districts Of the
state for the semi annual period ending
Jan. l. The reports of both inspectors
indicate that the reduction of the
gravity test from 46 to AZ by the last
legislative session has resulted in a
poorer grade of oil being furnished.
Tine inspection reports for the time
covered show that more gasoline than
kerosene has been used in the state.
This is largely ON account of the
demand for gasoline for power i'll
engines.
