Heating Oil To Remain
Tight" During Winter

In letter to heating oil customers
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, c. A. Newland, Manager for
the Delaware, Maryland and D. C. Di-
vision, stated the fuel oil situation is
tight, but if everything goes all right
we can squeak through. He said that
his company was making an all out
effort, including doing many eco
nomical things to attain a balance be-
tween supply and the demands of
customers.
"This situation, he stated, sis not
brought about by shortage of pc
troleum in the ground, but is brought
about by shortages of transportation,
producing and refining facilities that
could not be built during the war"
He added that the unusual post war
demands could not be foresecn.
His letter went on to say that the
industry in general is building adj
ditional facilities but this will take
some time before relief will be in
sight

Brush Burning Rules Are Now
In Effect

Provisions of Regulation No. 4,
concerning burning Of brush or de-
bris, went into effect again on Sep
tember Is, William A. Parr, district
forester announced, and urged all
persons to comply with regulations
to help prevent forest and woodland
fires.
With the coming of autumn fire
danger will constantly increase until
winter sets in, Parr said, and every
one should be doubly careful this
time of the year. Nine out of every
10 woods fires are caused by human
carelessness, and hunters, motorists
and rural dwellers should be fire con-
scious at this season, he added.
The provisions of regulation No. 4,
are as follows: "The following burn
ing regulations shall apply only to
burning within two hundred feet of
woodland or infammable material
that could ignite and carry fire to
woodland outside the limits of in
corporate town. Uncontrolled burning
of debris is prohibited at all times.
During the three spring months Of
March, April, and May and from
September Is to December Is, burn
ing shall be permissible only after
p. m. and before II midnight (EST)
except when the ground is covered
with snow.
Controlled burning after p. m
and before u midnight (EST) dur
ing the aforementioned months and
at all other times shall require the
taking of the following specific pro-
tective measures and such other pre-
cautions as necessary to prevent the
spread of fire to woodland.
Unless there be natural fire
break of at least ten feet in width
surrounding the area to be burned
which is free of infammable material
it will be necessary to:
a. Plow or otherwise construct
fireline at least ten feet wide COM
pletely around the area to be burned,

ALL NEW GAS
Heating Installations
DISCONTINUED

EOR the protection of all customers, efec-
l. tive September 20, 1947, no additional
principal gas space heating equipment can
be approved for installation on our lines.
This restriction has been adopted with the
deepest regret, but under present condi-
t1ons, there is no alternative.
Since March l, 1o47, we have restricted
installations of heating equipment on a
priority system. Even these priorities must
now be eliminated, as they have been re-
Ceived at rate which, if continued, would
seriously hinder our ability to maintain
satisfactory service for customers in their
present use of gas.
Customers may continue to file applica-
tions for principal space heating service,
and approvals will be granted in the order
in which they are received whenever it
becomes possible to modify restrictions
In addition, in the case of newly constructed
premises, where the owner or contractor
has not as yet filed an application andwhere:
(a) heating equipment designed exclusively for
gas has been purchased and installation is
completed, or under way; or
(b) applicant has entered into a contract for
heating equipment designed exclusively for
gas.
such applications will be considered for
approval providing they filed with the
company on or before September 3d. 1947,
but subject to the condition that, if approval
is given, the foundation of the building must
be completed prior to January l, 194S, or
such approval shall become void.
The Republican., 1947-09-25
Restrictions will be
modified as soon as possible

Every effort has been and continues to be
made by our suppliers and ourselves to
obtain materials and to construct facilities
necessary for serving the complete require.
ments of our customers. However, in fair
ness to all who are planning for the future
use of gas heat, unless the situation i'm
proves far more rapidly than indicated at
present, there is little likelihood that re-
strictions can be relaxed in any way before
the summer of next year.

LACK OF Facilities 90.
bur no shortage Of gas in
producing fields

AS previously pointed out, there is no
shortage of gas in producing fields. Lack
of essential materials, such as steel pipe,
compressors, valves and accessories, has
prevented construction-by our suppliers
and ourselves-of the necessary facilities
for Transporting and distributing sufficient
additional volume of gas to this area. This
condition has existed since the early stages
of the war-but, throughout this period,
the use of gas has increased at rapidly
acCelerating rate. 1t is situation over
which we and our suppliers of gas have
had no control, in spite of long-planned
expansion of our services.

Congressional Directory Listing Bbo Promised This Month

Theodore G. Bilbo. Democrat, of
Mississippi is not sitting among the
Senators at this time, but he will
appear by name in the official sena-
torial list in the Congressional Di-
rectory which will come out belat-
edly this month
Ansel Void, clerk Of the Joint
Committee on Printing for the last
A years, does not blame Mr.. Bilbo
for the unusual difficulty and delay
in getting out the 900-page book this
year. He attributed it today to the
terrific turnover" in Congress, the
job of rounding up biographical
sketches of go new members, and
the comparative slowness of COM
mittees to organize.

issue over seating Mr.. Bilbo, Mr..

The turnover in House and Senate

Auto Tag Applications
To Be Sent Out by Mail
Starting Tomorrow

Mailing Of applications for the
Districts new 1947 automobile Ii
cense. tags will begin tomorrow,
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
said yesterday. From three to four
weeks will be needed to complete
the mailing of applications, Mr.
Keneipp said, and he urged car
owners not to telephone the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic to
inquire about failure to receive an
application before March 10.
Corner tabs validating the 1916
tags will be used this year because
of the Districts inability to obtain
steel for new tags. The tags may
not be used before March /, but
must be on all District cars after
midnight March 81.
Mr.. Keneipp urged all automobile
owners to apply for the license tags
by mail wherever possible, and
asked that remittances be made by
check or money order and that in
no case should money be sent
through the mails. The applications
must be accompanied by the 1946
registration card, and the back of
the card must have the rubber
stamp imprint showing that the car
has been approved by one of the
Districts testing stations. While
the registration card is in transit
to the director or in his possession
the automobile may be operated
without a card. Applications un-
accompanied by the registration
card will be returned to the appl-
tcapt, the director said. >
Counter sales of the tabs at the
registration and title section OF the
Department of Vehicles and Traf-
fic, (room 1153-5D Municipal Cen
ter, will not begin until February "a.
License fees remain the same as
last year, and comprise three fac
tors; weight tax, inspection fee, and
personal property tax at the rate OF
sits per $100 of assessed valuation
of the vehicle.
Charles w. Reed, supervising in
spector of the Districts testing sta
tons, reported yesterday that there
were still approximately $4,000 We
hicles in the District not inspected
for the current registration year. In
addition, approximately 1,400 vehi-
cles were rejected and have not re-
turned for reinspection. The owners
of these vehicles cannot receive the
new tabs until their cars have been
approved, he said.
