REGISTRATION FOR FUEL
OIL MUST BE COMPLETED
BY MIDNIGHT SATURDAY
Consumer fuel oil registration
must be completed by midnight,
October 31st. Applications are now
in the hands of fuel oil distribu
tors and dealers. If a consumer
does not get his application from
his dealer he can obtain one from
the local Rationing Board.
The Office of Price Administra
tion announced that all of the reg
istration forms are not yet com
plete. This has necessitated the
postponement of the dealer regis
tration. However, the applica
tions for fuel oil registration for
heat and domestic hot water for
private dwellings and applications
for fuel oil and diesel oil for in
dustrial, commercial and govern
mental uses must be completed
and postmarked, if mailed, not
later than midnight, Saturday, Oc
tober 31st.
The forms are self-explanatory
for the private dwelling uses.
Among other things, the appli
cant should list each room or
space to be heated, designating it
as living room, dining room, kit
chen, etc. together with the length
and width in feet of each room
(omitting inches).
Another lmnortant item is to
state the amount of fuel oil pur
chased during the twelve months
ending last May 31st, indicating
the supplier and attaching the sup
plier’s certificate to the applica
tion. The supplier or distributor
will be glad to furnish the appli
cant with his certification.
Other items of importance are
the name and address, whether or
not the oil is to be used for heat
ing the dwelling or domestic hot
water or both, the number of per
sons regularly occupying the
dwelling and an explanation why
the equipment was not converted,
if it was convertable, to coal or
some other fuel. Also listed
among the questions is whether
there is any other type of equip
ment available on the premises for
either heating the dwelling or hot
water use.
The application for industrial,
commercial and governmental us
es is somewhat simpler in form.
In either case, the fuel oil dealer
will be glad to render any as
sistance in completing the forms.
Applicants are warned that if ap
plications are not delivered or
mailed to the local Rationing
Board before the deadline of Oc
tober 31st, they will be considered
as late applicants and treated ac
cordingly.
Just as soon as the forms are
available, fuel oil dealers and sup
pliers will be required to register
at the local Rationing Board. Al
so at a later date there will be a
registration for the domestic users
of kerosene for cooking and light
ing as well as for heat and hot
water uses in apartment buildings
and commercial establishments.
This latter registration will pro
bably be held at school sites. In
the meantime all suppliers, includ
ing the smallest grocery stores, are
urged to obtain signed promisory
notes upon delivery of every gal
lon of fuel oil or kerosene. This
is necessary since the individual
will receive the ration coupons
dating back to October 1st and
their surrender to the dealer con
stitutes his only method of re
plenishing his stock.
