STATE TO CONTINUE HIGHER GAS PRICES Although Oil Company Hikes Its Ask ing Figure, State Can Save Money as Yet Dnlly Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 29.—The State will continue to buy gasoline for 36 coun ties from the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, despite an increase in price of one half-cent per gallon, be cause the Board of Awards believes that to cancel the contract would re sult in having to pay even higher prices as the result of new lettings, according to Capus Waynick, direc tor of the division of purchase and contract. The board had a six-months cancel lation option, which it could have ex ercised this week, but it has voted to continue the contract in force. The original contract was let to Standard despite the fact that it contained i provision allowing the company to boost its prices under a clause not in cluded in the regulation bid form ol the board. ! “The State has lost some money by reason of the change permitting the Standard Oil Company to boost its price,” said Mr. Waynick, “The board voted to allow this provision because the bid of the Standard was aboui one-tenth of a cent lower than the next low bidder and board members thought it worthwhile to take a chance that the saving of the tenth of a cent would more than balance any subsequent increase by the com- j pany,” said Mr. Waynick. “It didn’t work out quite that way. The State used approximately 350,009 gallons per month, on which for about three months it saved about $1,050 by reason of the low price. Then came the increase and for the next three months the State lost, or will lose, about $1,400 per month, or approxi mately $4,200 for three months. All of which will make a net loss to the state of around $4,000 because of the clause permitting the Standard to raise its price. The Board of Award used its best judgment in accepting the Standard’s bid.” | Mr. Waynick then pointed out that , if the Standard contract were now cancelled and bids called) for, the prices would in his opinion be con siderably higher than the average of 15.19 cents per gallon to be paid the Standard even with its half-cent boost “So it was my judgment not to can cel,” he said. We don't know much about the “moral climate” of which Mr. Roose velt speaks, but for the last couple of weeks the old-fashioned climate in these parts has been perfectly swell.
