Show Fditorial . . . In a recent editorial we stated stat-ed that the airport manager and the gasoline distributor furnishing aviation gasoline sold at the airport each received re-ceived about 10c per gallon profit on sale of the gasoline. We later learned that we are in error. Rue Swindlehurst, Standard Oil distributor for this area .advises that his profit on gasoline he delivered to the airport is (was) only c per gallon. We based our statement on the facts presented at the City Council meeting that bids for furnishing gasoline at the airport air-port would allow for the airport air-port manager to continue to receive his 10c per gallon and the city would also receive 10c or more per gallon. We assumed as-sumed that the distributor had been receiving this 10c. We apologize to Mr. Swindlehurst Swindle-hurst for the error. |
