Price of Gasoline
Increased This Week

An increase in the price Of some
brands of gasoline became effective
in Oakland this week, as well as
throughout much of the country. The
price increase was as much as 6/lO OF
a cent per gallon.
An article from the Journal of
Commerce, of New York, distributed
to newspapers, declared that economic
factors "practically dictate such a
move at this time" although people
might not easily understand why
gasoline prices should go up when
other commodities are coming down.
The article blamed the price rise on
the price of crude oil, which had re-
manned unchanged while the price of
fuel oils had nosedived, thus wiping
out refinery profits, and pointed out
that gasoline was the only product
which could offer relief at this time.
The reaction by the public Of the
price increase has not yet been as
certained.
