M. C. Dalchau, chairman of the
Llano county war prke and rationing
board, made it plain today that all
motorists are going to have to in-
l« - fy tire consex itioii. find that
many persons on the eligible list for
tires and retreads are going to be
disappointed, because of the quota
shortage.
"Both truck and passenger car
tire allotmiCits have been reduced
sharply for September,” Mr. Dalchau
\; la m-d. “.inil w i i i bilged to
uake these reduced quotas serve
only tin- most essential needs.’’
lie pointed out that these reduc-
tions come at a time when all ve-
hicles, especially trucks, are working
overtime to meet the heavy demand
for fall movement of farm crops, and
for wartime construction and indus-
trial production.
“The result will be that our hoard
■vill havt to apply the eligibility
l r.-jeret co yardstick with even more
| severity,” lie said. "The shoe will
j pinch in many cases, hut we hope
everyone will take these decisions
with a wartime spirit of patriotism,
and know that we are trying to do
our duty honestly and impartially
in a national emergency.”
Tiie state office of price adminis-
tration headquarters has advised the
Llano couuty war price and ratlon-
igu board, Mr. Dalchau added, that
from now on. monthly quotas will re-
flect a sharp downward trend, in or-
der to stay within the year s rubber
quota.
"It is no longer possible to carry-
over unfilled applications from month
to mouth," Mr. Dalchau explained
“There will not he sufficient quotas
in the future months to relieve such
carryovers. We must now eliminate
all applications that are not essential
to the war effort and to the public
health and safety."
