In what might be Fred Hutton’s first political challenge, the only gas station on Bell Island closed its services last Friday. Irving Oil informed Kings Gas Station that no more gas would be delivered to Bell Island due to unfortunate circumstances.

But late this afternoon, Hutton says the issue has been worked out temporarily. Gas is expected to be delivered to the station on Bell Island tomorrow.
