Oil bid policy blocks independents in Sioux County
Officials of the bureau of supplies and accounts announced that bidding for 794000 gallons of oil will favor the Standard Oil company and exclude many small independent dealers. The policy aims to prevent inferior oil and machinery damage, though it limits competition by allowing each bureau to select the oil type. The bids will cover 286000, 245000, 145000, and two 72090 gallon lots.
