TRUCK APPEALS.
FILED BY JAN. 10.
All Appeals From Farmers
For Adjustment in Gas
Allotment Should Be In
CERTIFICATES ISSUED

Notice has been issued by Clar-
ence E. Reyes, district manager of
office of defense transportation, di-
vision of motor transportation for
/ the Delmarva Peninsula, to chair
men of county farm transportation
committees stating that all appeals
from farmers for an adjustment in
their gasoline allotment for this
year should be filed before January
10. These appeals are to be pre-
scented to the farm transportation
committee in each county, and they
refer to the certificates of war nee
essity which farmers made out sew
eral weeks ago and which were
checked over in the head Office of
defense transportation in Detroit,
Michigan. Many farmers when they
received their certificates discover
ed that not sufficient gasoline had
been allocated to carry on their
farming operations with reference
to hauling produce and other farm
commodities.
Have Right to Appeal
Farmers who did not receive the
necessary amount of gasoline have
the right of appeal for an adjust
ment in their allotment for 1943,
and in Kent county the farm trans
portation committee is located in
the office of the County Agricultur-
al Conservation Association in Do
yer. Within the past few weeks
R. Harry Wilson, chairman of this
committee, has received a number
of applications from farmers for an
adjustment in gasoline allotment,
as apparently errors were made by
these farmers in estimating their
trucking mileage on the certificates
of war necessity when this infor-
nation was requested during the
latter part of October.
Assistance Offered
In compliance with this admins
trative ruling from the office of de-
tense transportation, therefore,
formers should file their adjustment
appeals between now and January
10 for consideration by the county
committee. For further informa-
ton in regard to these appeals
farmers are requested to contact
either the county triple-A Office or
the Office of County Agent Russell
E. Wilson, and member of the
county farm transportation COM
mittee will be available to give as
sistance in filling out these appli-
cations.
