Postponed Move on Fuel Oil Rate Case in Southwest
The San Francisco District freight traffic Committee indefinitely postponed a fuel oil rate case after a wire advisory to the state corporation commission.

The RS Mine at Lordebere and others raised protests over California oil’s asphalt base and suitability for diesel. The commission filed a protest with the committee, leading to the delay.
