Supplementary Petrol Ration.

The Nottingham Petroleum Officer informs us that they have received instructions from the Department of Mines that under no circumstances whatever will they grant supplementary rations for the purpose of getting from home to business of over 600 miles permonth.

Will you please make this known to all concerned.
