It has been decided by the Divisional Petroleum Officer, that all future applications for supplementary petrol will be handled directly by Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 's department. This arrangement will be fully effective for the October, November and subsequent rationing periods. The procedure for obtaining coupons will be similar to that previously followed. i.e., application forms (obtainable from AA {D. Abbot Anderson} ) should be completed, with the desired monthly mileage inserted in PENCIL. The forms, together with car motor cycle registration book, should then be given to AA {D. Abbot Anderson} , who will arrange for them to be forwarded to the right quarters for investigation. (1) All claims should be made at least TWO WEEKS before the commencement of the rationing period. (2) Lunch-time travelling should NOT be included. (3) Mileage should NOT be claimed when other means of transport is available. ---------- OL | ||
