UPTAWA, Oct. l6-(CP)—-Mo- torists Ln all parts of Canada ex- cept the Maritime Provinces will have their gasoline ration cut by one-quarter effective next week. the Munitions and Supply De- partment announccd late today.

After the close of business to- morrow gasoline ration coupons will have a uniform value through- out Canada of three gallons. The flame-gallon unit already is in ei- fect in the Mnrltimes while in other provinces it has been good for the purchase of four gallons.

As gasoline may not be sold on Sunday, the reduction in Quebec, Ontario and the western provin- ces will go into effect Monday.

011 controller" G. R. Cottrelle. who issued the reduction order, said Canada's inventories of gaso- line are dwindling and action was necessary to conserve supplies for essential purposes.

Since July 1. New Brunswick, Nova Scotio and Prince Edward Island have been allowed only three allous to the unit, and for a shori time were reduced to two gallons. As recently as Oct i the unit was cut. from five gallons to four in the Prairie Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Al-
