OPA Rule on Rotioning of Oil
To Facilitate Card Issuance

Householders in Washington
and elsewhere who heat their
homes with oil won't have to
stand in line to get their ration
cards in the 30-State area placed
under control.
The Office of Price Administration
said yesterday that consumers could
expect to get their ration applica-
ton forms from their dealers shortly
after October 13. The forms are to
be filled out as soon as possible and
mailed or delivered to local war
price and rationing board. The
board will compute the ration on the
basis of the information furnished
and will notify the consumer when
his coupon sheet is ready.
Meanwhile, the consumer may
make necessary purchases by sign
Ing a coupon delivery promissory
note. as announced recently. Under
coupon credit. householders promise
to deliver to dealers coupons for the
amount bought within IS days after
the forms are available.
Dealers will register with local
rationing boards about mid October,
OPA announced, and at that time
will receive application blanks for
all their customers. At the time
they register, the dealers will be
required to report on their inventor
les as of the close of business sep
tember 30. Dealers who neglected to
make an inventory on that date
should take one at once and adjust it
to September 80 by allowing for
deliveries and receipts during Oc-
tober.
While the dealer may choose his
method of distributing the blanks,
OPA suggested that this might be
done by mail. the application blank
being enclosed in the same envelope
with the dealers certified statement
of the customers purchases last year.
OPA already has asked dealers to
begin preparing these statements.
Every customer thus will be in
formed of how much oil he burned
during the 12-month period ending
last May 81. In case purchases have
