DEALERS FIGHT.
GAS BOOST

Steps toward seeking an agree
ment from the major oil COM
panies in nearby Maryland and
Virginia to recede from the gaso-
line price increase ordered in
neighboring States have been ini-
tiated, it was learned today.
The principal reason for seek
ing such an agreement, it was
pointed out, is to afford dealers
a method of meeting differences
in gasoline prices in the District,
Maryland and Virginia.
G. w. Boyer, secretary of the
District petroleum committee, said
the plan advanced by the oil COM
panies for making the price Of
gasoline in sections Immediately
adjacent to the District only /
cent higher than prices in the
District appeared fair on its face,
as there is actually a difference of
3 cents in the tax.

alone.
The situation was saved by Mr..
