| Petrol Supplies. Ref. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/h. 3-10-41 To Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7-10-41 I can use the bus during the week, but at week ends, Saturday and Sunday the bus service times are inconvenient. At present my supplementary petrol allowance is 11 gallons per month. I would like to suggest that you reduce this to 6 gallon per month to enable me to travel by car at week ends and when on fire watch duty. FPHallam 10809 | ||
