FUEL
OIL RATIONING
Plan
Divides Season into Five Periods
WASHINGTON,
D.C.—The Office of Price Administration (OPA) announced today the new plan for
rationing of fuel oil. The plan divides the heating season into five periods. Dividing
the season, the OPA says, will allow homeowners to budget their rations to
match the typical rise and fall of temperatures. The specific dates of periods
will be slightly different in the four so-called thermal zones established
across the nation. At this point, dates for the five periods are tentative, but
October 1 is considered the start of the heating season. Coupons will be issued
for each period, numbered one through five, and will be valid only in the
specified period. However, coupons may be borrowed from the next period in the
event of a cold snap. The gallonage allotment per coupon for the next period
will then be adjusted to compensate.
