STATE TO CONTINUE
HIGHER GAS PRICES
Although Oil Company Hikes Its Ask

Money as Yet
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Whittier HOfe

Raleigh, Sept. 29.-The State will
continue to buy gasoline for SO coun-
ties from the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, despite an increase in
price of one half-cent per gallon, ce-
cause the Board of Awards believes
that to cancel the contract would re-
prices as the result of new lettings,
according to Capus Waynick, direc-
tor of the division of purchase and
contract.
The board had a six-months cancel
lation option, which it could have ex-
ercised this week, but it has voted
to continue the contract in force The
original contract was let to Standard
despite the fact that it contained a
provision allowing the company to
boost it's prices under clause not in
cluded in the regulation bid form OF
the board.
"The State has lost some money by
reason of the change permitting the
Standard Oil Company to boost it's
price, said Mr.. Waynick, 1.-THE board
voted to allow this provision because
the bid of the Standard was about
one-tenth of a cent lower than the
next low bidder and board members
thought it worthwhile to take a
, chance that the saving of the tenth
of cent would more than balance
any subsequent increase by the COM
pany,' said Mr.. Waynick.
ut didn't work out quite that way
The State used approximately $4,000
gallons per month"; on which for about
three months it saved about $1,000 by
reason of the low price. Then came
the increase and for the next three
months the State lost, or will lose,
about $1,40O per month, or approx
nately $4,000 for three months. All
| of which will make a net loss to the
state of around $4,000 because of the
clause permitting the Standard to
raise it's price. The Board of Award
! used it's best judgment in accepting
the Standards bid"
: Mr.. Waynick then pointed out that
if the Standard contract were now
/ cancelled and bids called for, the
! prices would in his opinion be con-
siderably higher than the average OF
1919 cents per gallon to be paid the
!; Standard even with it's half-cent boost
$50 it was my judgment not to can
cel," he said.
