Because of, a difference in price, which is | accounted for to some extent by the tax placed on gasoline by this state, j# considerable volume of Fargo busi- | Ness has been attracted to Moorhead. Analyses of the gasoline! sold in Moorhead during 1922 showed that it was not of as good a grade as that usually sold in Fargo. ‘Therefore. while the motorist who, filled his jtank with gasoline at a Moorhead service station paid a slightly lower price than he would have in. Fargo, jhe was receiving gasoline whieh was inferior to that sold in Fargo as a rule. A comparison of samples of cline from Moorhead, Brecken- ridge and East Grand Forks, Min- hesota, substantiates this statement.

If the average cost of running a ar is ten cents per mile, the amount spent on automobile travel in North Dakota during 1923 was slight in xcess of the total income from the wheat crop of the state.” A new state oil law became effect- ive July 1, 1923, which has been very satisfactory in operation, according to Mr. Baird. Oil companies are re- quired to submit samples to the state oil department for tests before un- loading and offering for sale. “There havé been a goodly number of rejections of cars of gasoline ship- ped into North Dakota since that time,’ is the statement in the re- port, “but the question has been handled with ‘as little loss or incon- venience to our state oil dealers as possible, it being in nearly all in- stances a case of mistakén ‘rather than of wilfully wrong “interpreta- tion of the intent of the require ments of the new law.
