| Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AA. {D. Abbot Anderson} 1282 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AA. {D. Abbot Anderson} 1/ML.2.7.40. EXTRA PETROL RATIONS. Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} has requested me to deal with applications for supplementary rations of petrol in the future instead of himself. With reference to the attached, it has been suggested that he should use his car to drive to the Bus Station and then bus to Belper. By so doing it costs him 9/4 per week, so I think we can agree to him being allowed 400 mileage. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AA. {D. Abbot Anderson} | ||
