Fuel oil scarcity grips community amid cold winter
Oil shortages persist across the state and nation as January demand exhausts dealer quotas. Local salesmen report no fuel oil since January 10 and predict dim prospects for ample supply. In 1947 about 1.3 million oil heating installations exist, and rising demand for fuel and lubricants strains the market.
Rationing Urged as Fuel Oil Shortage Persists
The speaker urges navy ships, sea and air forces to conserve fuel oil amid ongoing scarcity. Counting exact gallons needed for various uses is impractical. Rationing is essential now and will continue for a long time, with priority given to military and civilian aviation and motorized army equipment.
