Show New Method of Issuing TheGas Rationing Books Supplemental gasoline rations no longer "expire as in the past, i but remain valid for the purchase of gasoline indefinately V. H. Gunderson, Chairman of the local lo-cal war price and rationing board announced following receipt of information from the OPA state office. According to a recent amendment amend-ment to the rationing regulations, regula-tions, the board chairman said, "B" and "C" rations as well as "E" and "R" coupons may be used beyond the fixed period for which they were issued, and until renewals re-newals are obtained. Thus they expire at the "earliest renewal date" instead of on "expiration date" as in the past. "While 'B' and 'C books will be issued on the basis of estimated esti-mated three months needs, the rations will not expire at the end of that time," the chairman said. "Since it is difficult to tell exactly ex-actly how much as will be needed in advance, some motorists with supplemental rations have come to the end of the ration period with 'left-over' coupons. The new arrangement avoids taking the time of the applicant and the rationing board to issue new rations ra-tions until the coupons are all used." The new amendment also replaces re-places the old method of issuing "B" books, it was explained. On the old "time tailoring" basis, war price and rationing board issued is-sued a full "B" book in all cases but fixed an "expiration date" three months to a year later depending de-pending upon the monthly gasoline gas-oline needs of the applicant. In the future, coupons in excess of those required for the estimated three months needs of the motorist motor-ist will be removed from the "B" book in the same way as "C" books are tailored. Supplemental ration holders were advised to submit their applications ap-plications for renewals to the local board at least two weeks before their supply of coupons is exhausted. |
