GOOD GASOLINE FOR ARIZONA


The last state Legislature en-
acted q laW WHICH is designed to
insure Arizona consumers against
having low grade gasoline foist
ed upon them by unscrupnlous
distributors, The law provides
that gasoline sold in Arizona
must come-np to a standard set
by the federa+ government. The
State .Sealer Of Weights and
Measures is designated as the
enforcing officer. It is stipnlat
ed that be shall make frequent
inspections of gasoline sold in
the state. The law further pro
vides that the testing of the
samples shall be done by the
University Of Arizona and the
findings reported to the State
Sealer of Weights and Measures.
Many samples Of all brands of
gasoline sold in Arizona have
been taken at different points and
at various times during the past
several weeks by the State Sealer
of Weights and Measures and sub
mitted to University for testing.
The results have shown that
the majority of the brands Of
gasoline offered to the Arizona
public meet the legal require
ments. In some cases. however,
the tests have shown the gaso
line to be below standard.
Companies whose product has
failed to pass the test, some by
only a very narrow margin, have
promised without exception TO
bring their product up to stan
dard without delay.
Recently gasoline price wars
have been waged in certain sec.
tions of the state. In other
states it has been found that
frequently there was lowering
of the quality of the product by
some producers in order to Offset
losses incurred by price cutting.
In such cases the purchaser is
the direct loser, as the low quail
ity gasoline gives reduced mile
age, lessened horse power, and
frequently causes engine trouble.
Realizing the great pecuniary
loss to the tens of thousand Of
automobile owners of the state
that would result from flooding
of the market with low grade
gasoline, Governor Hunt deter
mined upon using every effort
under the law to insure the pub
lie of the state against these
abuses. He instructed the State
,Sealer of Weights and Measures
to prosecute all distributors Of
gasoline in Arizona who do not
comply with the law requiring
that their product shall come up
to the fixed standard of quality.
This activity Of the officers of
the governor and the State Sealer
of Weights and Measures is ex
pected to insure that Arizona Au
toists will be supplied with un.
iform high grade gasoline prod duct
