Prices of Petrol
Sir, —In reading an article, of the London Times of June 28 I noticed in the annual report of the Shell Oh and Trading Company. Limited, t.-ia .his company, which was formed in 1897, had made a profit of £ 6.000,000, and 1 believe that their total profits since the concern stal led would be in the vicinity of £150.003,00!). Now, then, don't you think that th.e price of petrol should come down a bit, so that all people could use it? I think it would be only just to consumers. CHARLES GOWLAND.
