Service Stations Get
Relief From Gas Run
As Result Of Storm

The ice storm and today's slush
gave service stations a breathing
spell from the heavy demand for
their limited gas supplies.
Clearing weather, however, is end
ing the relief. To add to their trou-
bles delivery of gas already slowed
by a manpower shortage, was made
more difficult for "a hours by slip
perry streets.
An industry spokesman said he
thought necessities would be met
and the city could get by without
serious inconvenience If motorists
would be reasonable" BY this he
meant if car owners would not in
sist on adding to their tanks every
time they found a service station
with gas.
This executive estimated the gas
available to the public during De-
cember at 80 per cent of October's
supply: Sales Of gas during October,
based on tax returns, were reported
at 1891 900 gallons, but this includes
direct sales from dealers to COM
mercial users, who take from Is to
40 per cent of the supply, and was
not broken down into the amount
service stations sold the public.
Lag Is Usual for Winter.
The original ALLEGATION of the
Petroleum Administration for War
to the Washington area for the cur
rent period was 5,500.00 gallons.
But since this was insufficient PAW
recently authorized an additional
l ,260, 900 gallons. and this is being
delivered. The total supply for De-
cember thus will come within strik-
ing distance of the average of re-
cent months industry sources esti-
mated.
Average civilian consumption in
the area recently has been between
100000 and 100000 gallons a
month.
1t has been pointed out at PAW
that there normally is a lag in de-
mand during the winter months, be-
cause there are fewer cars on the
streets. 1t was insisted also that
local dealers had been supplied dur
ing December with the amounts they
estimated were necessary. PAW has
adopted a policy of releasing gas
every 10 days and refraining from
giving the amounts to be allocated
for entire months.
Others in Allotment.
The total amount allotted the
District would be confusing anyway,
an industry official said, because it
included large amount requisi-
toned locally for military needs and
does not reflect civilian supplies.
Thus it has not been disclosed
how much gas the city will get in
January. Dealers sold 8,013,O 900 gall
Ions last January; 7974,000 gallons
in January, 1943 and before the
supply was curtailed drastically, ap-
proximately 13,000,0 600 in January
1912.
Doctors, who were shut off along
with every one else in the famine of
10 days ago, apparently are getting
the gas they need. Through ar
rangement with the District OPA,
several stations centrally located are
reserving their entire supplies for
physicians. Others, although not
authorized, were giving the doctors
preferential treatment.
