| To:- Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 1/WS.30.9.41. The following people (not on the Company's Driving List) under your jurisdiction receive supplementary petrol for home to works mileage. They have also applied for and obtained priority 'bus travel tickets. This means, presumably, that a 'bus service is available and may also indicate wrongful use of their petrol coupons. Please bear this in mind when initialling the next applications for petrol. "S.T." means Seasonal Traveller and "R.T." Regular Traveller and it would appear that the persons marked "R.T." have little reason for needing supplementary petrol. We should be pleased to receive your comments.
