GASOLINE is DYNAMITE
SAYS COMMISSIONER
JOHN B. GONTRUM

Calling the attention of the public to
the dangers of handling gasoline,
State Insurance Commissioner John
B. Centrum issued the following state
ment:
GAS result of the gasoline regula-
tons recently put into effect in Mary
land, many motorists are carrying
with them emergency supplies of gas
oline. The Insurance Department has
prepared rules and regulations for the
safe handling of gasoline, which will
be issued shortly. However, to a very
large extent motorists and others
must take proper precautions them
selves to avoid injury.
Gas Is Dynamite
Gasoline is more dangerous than
dynamite, and it is said by petroleum
engineers that while one gallon of
gasoline can propel an automobile fiji
teen miles, that same gallon could
send careless individual into the
next world.
eve strongly urge that every pre-
caution be taken in handling gasoline
and only approved containers be used.
Gasoline as a cleaning fluid is ex-
tremely dangerous and its use as a
cleaning fluid frequently results in
burns and death, so for your own
sakes please be careful"
