GASOLINE TO GO
DOWN ONE CENT
BEGINNING MONDAY I4RlCE Or
THIS COMMODITY TO TAKE
SLIGHT REDUCTION

Commencing Monday morning the
price of gasoline will be reduced one
cent per gallon in Brunswick
With every other commodity on the
market having an upward tendency
this sounds like an incredible stury-
an unreal, unbelievable statement
but it is fact. Just what caused tae
slump in gas" is not given on. anu
nobody cares anything about the caus.
es-just so it is genuine fact~r,
and it is.
The foregoing statement was siven
out yesterday by. Manager G. H Tip
pens, of the local branch of tine
Standard Oil company, and therefore
IS authentic. And this means that the
other oil companies, with branches
in Brunswick will meet this cut.
In Atlanta and other cities through
out the country the use of gasoline is
beng restricted. 1t can be obtained only
in limited quantities-and then only
for commercial use. Higher prices ar,
predicted in all the principal cities.
owing to the Increased demand for
gasoline in the development of the
airplane and the farm tractor. And
too, snce the start fof the war there
has been an increase of 25S pes cen
in the number. Of automobiles regis
tered in the United States. In the
same period gasolene manufacture IN
creased 133 per cent
And thus this city is one of the few
that will be favored, for time, at
least, with a reduction of this essen
tial commodity.
1t is not generally known, perhaps
that Brunswick has already had the
cheapest gasoline market of any city
in Georgia-with the exception of Sa.
vannah-and this by reason of the
fact that that city is distributing
point. Brunswick consumers have
been paying one cent per gallon less
for gasoline than has been the case
in Atlanta, Macon and Augusta.
However, the reduction which is
to go into effect on Monday rA
will prove very acceptable to the us
ers Of this commodity. The present
price is q cents per gallon.

HARD WORK AT FIRE DEPART.
MENT SAVES HEADQUARTERS
FROM BAD FIRE

A fire in back room IN the house
at No 710' Carpenter street on the
second story called out the fire de-
parment in a big hurry yesterday at
an early hour. 1t took the department
the biggest part Of three-quarters of
an hour to put it out.

Just about midnight down IN the
fire department headquarters on the
corner of Mansfield and Newcastle
streets the big sixty gallon tank of
gasoline caught on fire and took about
everything the department had in the
way of apparatus to drown it out.
Luckily the big tank didn't blow
out and the danger was removed after
a hard fight with the blaze that was
drowned out without damaging the

POSSIBLE THAT MACHINERY B.:
DELAYED UNLESS CONDITIONS
ON RAILROADS CLEAR UP

While the section is under freigh:
embargo, it is yet premature tc say
just what the immediate result of the
railroad agitation will be-: 1t is feared
that the first project to feel the Ell
feet of the lack of transportation will
be the new street construction.
Unless the railroads in this sec
tion show greater facilities for hand
ling business, it is stated on good
authority that there is little hope o?
Citing sufficient machinery into the

Wrat applies to machinery will al
so apply to material both raw and
manufactured. There is no doubt if
strike conditions prevail much longer
it will be impossible to get either
machinery or material or manufac
tured product into the city to attempt
the construction of city paving as per
schedules unless by water.
Much depends where the equip
ment Of the Georgia Construction com
pany is at present and where the
nearest work is going on and vheth
er it will afford such communIca-
ton. The same reasoning applies in
larger degree to the undertaking
