BENZINE SUPPLIES.
THE POSITION EASIER.' j Speaking in regard to the petrol situation, Mr. McDonald, chairman of the Board of Trade, said that the position would be easier witii the arrival of supplies by boats now due. He advised applicants for benzine to apply to their regular suppliers. People, he said, ran away with the idea that the Board of Trade had a big •stocly on hand, and that they could get eases whenever they went for li\em. This was incorrect. The board first of all satisfied themselves that all applicants were essential users, and then referred them to the oil company, who would supply them with sufficient benzine to carry on with. Arrangements had also been made by the board to eliminate the duplication of orders, and in future, wjien people tried to get supplies beyond their normal requirements, it might be necessary as an example to cut them out entirely.
