here today. It. It. Itohb, of l.oj* An
gelo-. secretary-treasurer of the Inde
pendent Oil Producers Agency, a non
profit concern, explaiired the lesolu
tioa passed by the Agency at its >es
sion here recently urging co-operation.
“With the exception of the recent
increase of 27* cents per barrel in the
;r ice of crude oil at the well, the
pi ice has been stationary since May
! 17. when an increase of 27) cents per
!*a re! was posted at the request of the
Oil division ut tile Fuel Administra
tion." said Itobb.
“The absence of an increase in
pi ce to cover the increased expense
Ira.- had the effect of discouraging the
development work and. with the ex
ception of the activities of the larger
marketing concerns, has totally ar
n -ted exploitation work, with the re
lit that the production of oil has not
kept pace with the demand.
"Sufficient crude oil to supply the
requirements of the Pacific Coast
t tide for fuel od and gasoline is net
b ing produced, and were it in>t for an
accumulated reserve tanked during
the* time of excess production the pre
sent supply would not satisfy exist
ing demands. These reserves are rap- •
idi> being exhausted, and unless the
development and production of crude
oil and gasoline must shortly be re
stricted to essential usuage. This will
mean in the case of fuel oil that all
consumers thereof who can secure t
son* • >tlier fuel will be compelled to
do -»v regardless of cost or inconven- i
ien e. In tlu* case of gasoline, it will j

SHANGHAI. May 14— Seven Brit,
ish citizens, one Japanese and on"
American comprise the municipal
council of the International Settle
ment of Shanghai as a result of the
recent election by the taxpayers here.
Sterling Fessenden of a local law firm
is the American member, I)r. S. A.
Ransom, the one other nominee, hav
ing been defeated. A total of 883 vot
es were cast, the smallest number
since 1913.
Under a body composed of 16 for
eign consuls the municipal council of
Shanghai governs a community of
about three quarters of a million peo
ple of whom about 25,000 are foreign
ms. Vigorous efforts of Chinese resi
de; its within the settlement boundar
ies. who pay roughly 85 percent of the
revenues, to obtain representation on
the municipal council have thus far
failed, though this question again is
to come up for decision in the course
of the year. The right of foreign re
sidents of the settlement to vote in
municipal election is determined by
the payment of taxes on property.
