crude as a base. Any difference OF
field price between Salt Creek crude
and other Wyoming and Montana
fields was carried as a cash credit or
debit in account with the Shipping
Board, settlement to be made in cash.
When this contract was negotiated
al Creek crude was selling at s2.75
a barrel and fuel oil at San Francisco
Bay Cthe point OF delivery was selling
at $500. On the 60-95 basis. this made
the price approximately s3.1s for roy
atty oil. Since n refining company
gets a manufacturers discount on all
purchases, It is possible that such o
discount was received in purchasing
the California crude oil for delivery to
the Shipping Board. Any such dis
count would operate to decrease the
direrential between se.75 and s3.1s.
Later when the price OF Rocky Noun
tain crude dropped in sympathy with
the decline In price OF Pennsylvania
and Mid.Continental crude. California
crudes did not drop in price as rapidly
or as decidedly due probably IS the

three main facts to consider.
a. Sale of Government Royalty Oil
TO Shipping Board The Government
sells It. royalty oil to the U. S. Ship
ping Board at the same price the OPP
orators on Government lands receive
for the oil they produce. In the ear

However. this method so complicated
the accounting between the Interior
Department and the pipe line com

tract has been revised TO read as fol-
lows:
THE price TO be paid for the rude

tho Secretary OF the Interior, or in
the event that no sales contract price
