NEW GAS RATION PLANS ARE STRICT (Continued from Page One) al group may receive a “B” ration book, which will have a few cou pons—the exact number not yet set—for use over a minimum time of three months. In explaining the case of a salesman, who comes under the limited occupational group, Mr. Schellenberg said he would have to reduce his amount of travelling to come within the amount permitted with an “A” and “B” book as he would be una,ble to get more than one “B” book until the end of three months. Persons coming under the es sential occupational group will beh permitted a “C” ration book for the amount of miles used in the duties of his profession. He must use his “A” book for travelling to his work and for side trips. Owners of trucks must register this time and the amount of gaso line allotted will be on the basis of the number of miles travelled in May and the number he esti mates will be necessary during the next 90 days. He also must furnish the amount of miles he averages per gallon of gasoline. Truck and bus owners will get “S-I” and “S 2” books, respectively. persons who use gasoline lamps, stoves and for other purposes such a cleaning will be issued a "non highway ue” certificate. The reg istrant must estimate the amount necessary for such purposes until December 31, 1942. The book will contain one gallon coupons. The “L-70” will go out with the coming of the coupon system which will take care of all rationing, Mr. Schellenberg said. He explained that service station operators must receive a coupon for every gallon of gasoline sold so he will have the coupons to present the distributor in order to replenish his supply. The distributor in turn must have the coupons to get a new stock. Mr. Schellenberg said retail gas dealers would register July 22 and 23 and in doing so would indicate the capacity of their tanks and the amount of gasoline on hand at the time of registration. He further said the present plans are tentative and there may be some changes, but basicly the reg ulations would be remained as out lined.
