Price Of Kerosene OIL Takes
Jump In TOitenVilIe
BY speosal correspoaoens.

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. with the
cost of living going higher and high
er each day throughout the country
the people of To%ttenville and vicinity
are feeling the pinch more than yer.
The latest staple article to advance
here during the past few days is kero-
sene oil. Dealers notified their GUS
TONERS on Monday of this week that
the price of kerosene oil would be
twenty cents a gallon, an advance of
one cent. Several, weeks ago tho
price jumped to nineteen after 1t had
been seventeen and eighteen.
The advance here Is believed to be
because every household ut this time
of the year must use more kerosene
In cooking with an oil stove. There is
no illuminating a on this end of the
island and every body must depend on
an oil stove to do their baking and
cooking during the summer months
While congress is making nm investi-
cation in the high cost of living and
prof1ting there might be q good field
here to investigate with regard to the
price of kerosene oil where the Stand
ard OIL Company maintains a large
tank and storage depot for kerosene
and gasoline 1t is said by the residents
Of this Ind Of the island. Kerosene oil
In other places can be bought for
twelve cents a gallon whore there is
Illuminating gas for consumption.

rule requiring passengers wishing to
make a round trip on the Staten Is
land ferry boats to get off n on

In spite of the protest against the
rule by Frederick d. Underwood, pres

system was defended by city of1cials.
Transit Commissioner Delaney, who
put the rule into effect when he was
At the head OF the ferries, said the old
system Of collecting fares from those
who wanted to retain their seats had
a double disadvantage. First, 1t was
q temptation to the employees, who
4 were constantly up on charges of not
turning in their receipts. Again. some
passengers would try to evade the pay
ment of their fare. Disputes would
arise, which often delayed the depart
