Oil refund bid blocked on 1200 gallons bought for patrols
In Des Moines on May 4 a Republican effort to gain refunds on 1200 gallons of motor oil used in highway patrol cars failed. The oil, part of a 5000 gallon purchase by former Secretary of State Robert E. O'Brien for 2400 dollars from Chris Hoefer of Sioux City, was deemed too thin after analysis. Secretary Earl G. Miller noted patrol cars use three quarts per 90 mile trip and said no contract for the oil could be found, hindering refund action.
