Ottawa Stations Boost gas prices

QTTAWA. 00h 2 —(OP)- Most Ottawa. service stations raised their gasoline prices two or z 1-2 cents today following the order of G. R. Cottrelle, federal oil controller au- thorizing an increase of one cent a. gallon.

This was "Ln protest at the failure of the oil companies to permit dealers an increase in their margin of profit." said A. M. Cronsberry, secretary of the Ot- tawa gus dealers association.

He said late today that not all

stations had fallen in line with the top prime; in Ottavxa.

The increase announced by the oil controllers brought. Ottawa prices for the two grades to 32 l~2 and 34 l-2 cents a gallon. some stations today charged 33 1-2 and 35 1-2 and others 34 and 36.

An official of the wartime price.» and trade board said the board had not been officially informed of the situation from Mr. Cottrclle.

(Later the oil controller said that gasoline station proprietors who persist in charging more for" gasoline than the authorized priccs,. will be "closed up."

("If they refuse to play the zaiue I have no alternative but to close; them up," he declared. i (“If an member of the public is
