PREDICTS DROP
in "GAS' PRICE
Dealers See Promise Of To-
Cent Fuel by Next
Autumn.
ixteen-cent gasoline by fall.

Sixteen-cent gasoline by fall.
That's the opinion OF William Redmond,
manager of a big local garage and he
is backed up in part by Edward ]. Chap
man. one of the largest handlers OF gaso-
line in Washington, and by many others.
Mr.. Redmond said yesterday that in
his opinion the price OF gasoline would
drop to Is or Is cents a gallon within the
next two months. He has given the sub
iect careful consideration and bases his
opinion on facts.
There is no question in my mind but
that gasoline will take big drop in
price before fall" said Mr. Redmond
Everything indicates this and the recent
reduction in price, in my opinion, is just
a fOrerunner OF what Is going to hap
pen
Expects Drop Soon.
Mr.. Chapman is OF the opinion that
Sssoline is due to drop in price in the
near future.
A careful study OF the situation has
revealed many interesting facts, and it
IS upon these that the opinion of the
gasoline men is based.
Trade journals throughout the country
have repeatedly made statements to the
effect that pipe line companies in the
nid-continent fields are unable to han
die more than 80 per cent of the prOduc-
tion Of oil in that territory. This is looked
upon by gasoline authorities as an indi-
ration Of another period Of over-produc-
ton which will result in a decrease in
the price.
The reason for this conclusion is ap-
parent. During the flood of oil in the
cushing field a great over-production of
oil resulted, 1t is said, which caused the
rrice to fall so low that small driIlers
lecame discouraged and abandoned
work. Only the wells of great production
we're paying.
When the small producers or independ-
cnts stopped drilling, the production
dropped overnight from aoout 10000 to
a little more than 100, 900 barrels a day.
This caused a rise in the price from 50
ents or less a barrel, to nearl 81. it is
said.
independents Resume work.
The small drillers Immediately went
lack to their fields. according to reports,
md the result is beginning to show. The
act that the pipe lines are unable TO
carry the entire production is given as
proof of this.
The oyer-production OF gasoline also
will cause a loss, it is believed, it being
necessary to put large quantities OF the
commodities in storage. This generally
means a loss in the percentage of gaso-
line that may be refined from it, as 1t
loses some OF its gasoline qualities in
standing, say experts.
The local dealers are of the opinion
nat these facts, together with informa-
Ton which has recently come to their
notice regarding the decrease Of ship
nents Of the commodity to countries in
Europe, make a sound basis for the con-
fusion that gasoline will take a drop in
me next two months
Washington motorists are enthusiastic
over the prospect of cheaper gas. The
news Of q likely reduction in the price
u fuel has been received with satisfac-
ton by the hundreds who have been
compelled to pay high prices for the past
wear
