MRS. BRENNAN
LEFT ESTATE
Late PatrOIman's Will Was
Drawn Up in 1919; Two
Other Documents Filed

The viii OF the late patrolman,
James ]. Brennan, who died March
/, was admitted to probate yesterday
by Judge Patrick Healey. Two other
Wills were also admitted with the
estate in all three instances going TO
the widows.
The widow, Agnes O,FIara Bren-
nan Of 81 Edison avenue was left
the entire estate and the testator
stated no provision is made because
Mrs Brennan will provide for the
children as she has in the past. The
viii was drawn up in 1919.
Albert Hole leaves his entire es-
tate to his yMfe, Alice Hole. The will
was drawn In 1919. Mr.. Hole died
March 10. Norman and Harold, sons
Of the deceased, survive.
The will Of John r. o'Brien be-
queaths the entire estate to the
widow, Mary @. O'Brien. The docu-
ment was drawn In 1895. widows In
each Of the three wills were named
beneflciaries ana executors.

Practically everybody operates
his car the year round these days.
If the 20 per cent reduction to go
into effect this week is continued
either through a cut in deliveries
to dealers or through a rationing
system, 1t will mean a cut of about
1000 miles year in travel for Mr..
and Mrs. Average Motorist.
when one thinks Of this as a
little more than four miles a day,
1t doesn't look as though the gov
eminent were calling on the aver
age motorist for much of a sacrifice
when 1t orders him to use 20 per
cent less gasoline"
The commissioner pointed out
that incidentally" 20 per cent re-
duction in gasoline consumption
from April through the rest of the
year will mean loss to the state of
approximately two million dollars
that would ordinarily go to the
highway fund for construction,
maintenance, or reconstruction of
state highways"
Last year from April through De-
cember, 312,530, 946 gallons of gaso-
line were consumed in Connecticut,
netting the state $685. IS in
taxes. A reduction of 20 per cent
in that amount would have amount
ed to 81 ,58027. Since gasoline
consumption increased during jan
uary this year, and since car regis
trations have increased this year
over the same period last year by
about 10000, it is safe to assume
that a 20 per cent reduction in gas
alone consumption will result in an
actual loss to the state OF over two
million dollars.
In January Of this year, some
$4,000 Connecticut cars travelled
approximately 374, 1909, 457 miles. This
was about $50 miles per car. A 20
per cent reduction in gasoline that
month would have meant that the
average car would have travelled
523, or 1870 miles less.

per day II has become necessary
for The Texas company TO place
Kelvin production on an emergency
basis, 10 meet current demands
caused by the war demand for
petroleum products.
This announcement followed closely
the announcement of purchase Of
Illinois Pipeline company's gathering
system and trunk lines in Kelvin field
, by The Texas company. The change
went into effect on Oct. l6.
Responsible operators expressed
doubt Friday that Kelvin field viii In
crease its output by more than 500
Dbl per day at most The field pro-
duced at the rate of 5,s85 Dbl per day
during the week ending Oct. 10 and

week ended Oct. H. It hit 1853 Dbl

the peak week Of the year, and was
at $685. bbl in the week ended Oct. 4.
Not more than so or 60 wells now idle
can be put on production without
considerable work and expense which
may or may not be justified at present
prices

operator, "but in order to put them in
production we have to clean them out
and repair the equipment and 1t
means the starting of additional
powers which would in turn mean
more bumpers. with the present prices

mean that we would lose money In so
doing. However, If the oil Is needed.
we may put additional wells on pro-
duction as a matter Of patriotic duty.

BONUS FOR OIL
DISCOVERIES
AFTER NOV.

WASHINGTON-A war production
board official proposed that a bonus
be paid for oil discovered after this
Nov. /, in order to stimulate the
search for new petroleum deposits.
In a telegram to Sen. Joseph O.
O'Adahoney, D., Wyo., chairman of a
public lands subcommittee. currently
investigating the petroleum situation
Wayne johnson, special oil adviser
to WPB Chief Donald M. Nelson,
said that such bonus would stimu-
late the production of highly critical
and much needed raw materials"
johnson Joined with Price Admin
istrator Leon Henderson In opposing
industry demands for a general price
increase to encourage intensified ex-
ploration, but said that new produc-
ton obtained after Nov I, 1912, should
receive q higher price due to greater
costs and as a further stimulant &c
production"

Is the United States being as COM
placent about oil today as it was over
aluminium, rubber and steel before
Pearl HarborP
Wyoming's little sandy-haired sena-
tor, Joseph G. ODGahoney, raised that
question in Washington last week
raised it big and loud during a senate
subcommittee hearing presenting evil
dence that shouted yes"
The prospect of an oil shortage Is
based on a possibility, a probability
and a fact. The possibility Is that Hit
Ter may take the Iriq-C Caucasian Iran
ian oilfields leaving the United Ma
tions totally dependent on the western
hemisphere for oil. The probability is
that gasoline and fuel oil rationing
will be more than offset by a huge
rise In military oil consumption-as
new armadas Of United States planes
take to the sky, as new armies of
United States tanks take to the field,
as the second-ocean Navy and the
seven-seas merchant marine take 10
the water. The fact is the United
States oilfields are being drained and
too few new ones are being discovered
because wildcatters are not out losing
their shirts or making millions pros
pecting for oil. The evidence indicates
that the big reason wildcatters are idle
Is that the price Of oil is too low.

not turn in their extra tires.
