CUTS EXPENSE $2,000 A MONTH

Indianapolis, Aug. 21.—The dismissal of the chief engineer and two bureau heads of the state highway commission was made to cut down the expense* of the highway department, according to L. H. Wright, director. Mr. Wright said that Governor Goodrich had nothing to do with the discharge of the three men. Mr. Wright said that through the release of H. K. Bishop, chief engineer; W. W. Southard, head of the bureau of plans, and J. M. Kimmel, head of the bureau of county aid, that the expense of maintaining the department would be reduced about $2,000 a month. He said that a competent man would be in the place of Mr. Bishop at a salary muchh less than $7,000 ! a year, which was the amount received by the deposed chief engineer. He indicated that the reorganization plans o fthe department would make provision for the work done by the other men.

Gasoline Prices Follow Crude “What,” asked a customer recently, “has the sharp advance in the price of gasoline? And our answer was substantially as follows: The advances in the selling price of gasoline which ha occurred since January Ist, were due primarily to the increased cost of crude oil. The market on all grades of crude took an upward trend during the latter part of 1919, and has been climbing steadily since that time. During 1919 gasoline prices remained stationaiy, the refiners absorbing the increased cost of crude as long as it was possible to do so. In January, 1920, gasoline prices generally were advanced to meet the increasing cost of raw material. It Another factor was the practical exhaustion of gasoline reserves brought about by the unprecedented demands for this fuel During the first months of this year the consumption of gasoline greatly exceeded production. But the primary reason was the constantly faI groaning price of crude oil. Still other reasons for the mounting prices are the greatly increased cost of labor, of steel, and of other ÜB ed in manufacture; also the constantly advanring cost of marketing and distribution. Everything that goes into the refining of petroleum is very expensive today. Rnt the primary and controlling reason is found fa the cost of crude. fa keeping with its well-known policy, the Standard * Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to maintain low prices for gasoline in the face of advancing prices for crude oil because of its large scale operation fa refining, and its complete and economical system of distribution. And, also, because of its advanced facilities for obtaining a maximum quantity ofgaeoifae from a given quantity of crude. The Middle West' depends largely upon, gasoline power for producing food stuffs. Tbs Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is strainfag every fibre of its highly specialized organization to meet this demand. i Standard Oil Company (InMana) * 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago z
