GAS SALES ESTABLISH
NEW RECORD FOR YEAR

Establishment of new high records
for gas sales, output and adoption OF
scientific research marked 1928 In the
manufactured and natural gas indus
tries of North America.
Preliminary estimates of manufac-
tured gas sales for 1928 show per
cent increases over 1927, putting the
sales at record high figure, according
to the American Gas Association, Inc,
of 495, 900, 100000 cubic feet. Although
gas sales for domestic purposes showed
q normal increase of slightly more than
3 per cent, the trade registered nearly
a 10 per cent growth in the utilization
of its product in industry.
Sales for the year were as follows:
$40 ,OOO, 900, 600 cubic feet for domestic
uses; l50, 600, 100000 cubic feet for in
dustrial and commercial uses, and
5000, 100000 cubic feet for miscellane-
Gus uses.
Gas service was extended to 100000
new customers during 1928, bringing
the total number of customers to H.
800 900, and the population served to
100000. More than $4,000. 000, 900

NEW YORK, January 10.-No nation

Roy D. Chaplin, chairman OF the nigh

Two States have alreaoy completed
initial improvement of all of their roads
These States are Maryland and Della

The Department of Commerce esti-.
mates that there are 6,5O0.000 miles OF

TEAGLE is HOPEFUL
IN OIL SITUATION
Return to Sanity in Petroleum
Field Is Called 1928
Feature.
BY w. C. TEAGLE,


President Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
The outstanding fact in 1928 petro-
leum history was the victory Of COM
mon sense, or the return Of sanity to
the plans of oil men.
The good results Of straighter think
ing have to date been most apparent
in the producing end Of the business,
With the advice and help Of various
State authorities, they subordinated
immediate selfish considerations to the
community interest and co-operated
under the law with State regulatory
commissions. In California, Wyoming,
Oklahoma and Texas voluntary con-
servation plans brought about more
orderly production, tended to eliminate
waste and prevented Generalization Of
markets.
The reward Is that we start 1929
with a smaller carry-over than was in
evitable under old conditions. Crude
stocks, which were 380,000,000 barrels
at the end of 1927, had increased H.
SAL 900 barrels by the end of october.
1928. as compared with an increase OF
59,500000 barrels in the corresponding
period of 1927.
Gasoline stocks decreased nearly
5000 900 barrels by the end of october,
1928, as compared with 9,500,0 900 in the
corresponding period of 1927. Domestic
crude production for 1928 is estimated
at 887 100000 barrels. In 1927 total
production was 906,416,000 barrels.
Five fields attained their maximum
yields in 1928, two in Oklahoma, two
in Texas and one in California, and
accounted for most of the flush pro-
duction. There are in sight for 1929
possible new fields of Importance in
all three States.
We start 1929 with voluntary cur
tailment in consonance with the laws,
a proved success where it has been
tried. It is certainly hoped in the in
terest of the public as well as the in
dustry that this effort toward eco
nomic control of petroleum reserves
will become world wide. 1t is the most
promising factor in the petroleum out
look for 1929.

NEW TREND IN BANKING

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-Announce-
ment of the merger OF three powerful
banks in three States in the Middle

CEMENT OUTPUT.

Although cement shipments have adj
yanced to an estimated 80 per cent In
1928 above the average for 10 years
since the war, both the value OF prod
uct and the value added by manufac-
ture are on the decline, according to
Frank H. Smith, president, Portland
Cement Association.
The situation, he adds, Is due IN large
measure to the overeXpanded condition
in the industry, in which 1t is possible
to produce 80 per cent more cement
than is consumed Voluntary curtail-
ment of production Is generally recog-
nized as essential.
Another contributing factor Is the
menace Of foreign cement, which, en-
tering In increasing quantities because
of lack of tariff protection, is forcing
mills to sell for cost or less" says MIR.
Smith. =
shipments in 1928 probably will
show a decline in rate of increase, al
though the building situation would
indicate a general stimulation in 1929.
Use of cement In highway work, par
ticularly for er-highways, grade
separations and large parking garages
continually tends to increase. Another
growing market is flreproof construc-

GERMAN PREPARATIONS
ARE SILL TO BE FIXED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-Ten years
after the close of the war the exact
amount of the German PREPARATIONS is
still to be fixed. Nor has the definite
time of payment been fixed. Both
must be made Definite before European
economic conditions can be considered
sound.
s. Parker Gilbert's report, Dot yet

upon, especially in Europe. AS Ene one
who knows the most about the 1fltr1cacy
of the problem, Mr.. Gilbert has stated
repeatedly that ability to pay" should
be the basis of the final amount fixed.
It is now reported that. with Owen

lions Commission will be jeremiah

America are better equipped to handle

Mr.. Young was on the first Dawes

BIC MERGERS MARK
1928 IN AUTO FIELD
Various Consultations and
Few Mechanical Changes
!. Noted.
BY the Associated Press. /.

BY the Associated PreSS.
DETROIT, January 10.-A concentra-
ton of production capacity in the con-
solidation of various companies, with as
sets totaling well over half a billion
dollars. marked the year 1928 In the au-
tonlobile industry. The year brought no
outstanding mechanical changes that
would indicate any definite trend away
from present-day standards.
What changes have been made IN
motor cars have been chiefly in body
design and tendency to fully equip
cars, from bumpers to windshield
wipers. The changes in body design
have been to give the automobile a
more massive appearance, with little, II
any. alterations in chassis.
Larger radiators also have MADE
their appearance, carrying out the
impression of larger" cars. Air clean
ers and oil filters have been made
standard equipment on many cars, and
even the Ford company this year went
in for fully equipped products.
More Skies Shown.
Elimination of more four-cylinder
cars in favor of the Six-cylinder motor
also was noted during the past year,
and automobile authorities say that
1929 will see only two four-cylinder
cars in production.
In the more than half billion dollars
In assets effected by mergers and
consultations, the Chrysler Dodge
Brothers, Inc, union, announced May
% last, led the way with tangible bal
ance sheet assets of approximately
s235 900 900. At the time the con-
solidation was announced the two
companies had stock outstanding valued
at $3.50 900 900, according to New YORK
Stock Exchange prices.
Next in line in the tendency toward
closer unity of production facilities
was the merger Of the Studebaker and
the Pierce-Arrow companies. Plants.
properties and other assets totalling
$3.50 900 900 we're involved. The merger
was approved by stockholders OF both
companies late last June.
Other Consultations.
A most recent consolidation OF sig
able proportions was that involving
acquisition of the Chandler Cleveland
Motors Corporation by the Hupp Motor
Car Corporation, with combined assets
at the time, November 80, of approx
mately $130,O00,000.
Early in September the Auburn
Automobile Co. of Auburn, Ind, an
nounced it had acquired a controlling
interest in the Lycoming Manufacture
ing Co. of Williamsport, Pa; Duesen-
berg, Inc, of Indianapolis, and the
Limousine Body Co. of Kalamazoo,
Mich. Total assets of the four COM
panies concerned were estimated at
approximately $14,000,000.
While these consultations and mer-
gers that gave group strength against
competition of the larger producing
organizations were being effected, one
large concern, Velie of Moline, ILL.,, an
nounced discontinuance of motor car
production and entry into the airplane
business.
