New Bern, Jan. 28—Motorists as well as owners of commercial automobiles are up in arms in this city over the excessive cost of gasoline and the repeated raising of its already too high prices, as they claim. Some weeks ago the refinery agencies in this community followed a war on high prices of gasoline, cut the price from 25 cents per gallon to 20 and 21 cents per gallon. It was raised again to 25 cents here last week without any cause being given by the oil companies.
