Victoria, B.C., 1950.  Annual Report of the Coal and Petroleum Control Board
For the Calendar Year Ended December 31st, 1949
During 1949 some 141,782,384 gallons of gasoline were sold in the Province of

Of this amount, service-stations sold 95,373,825 gallons, an increase over 1948 of some
9,647,170 gallons and an increase over the year 1939 of 52,398,197 gallons. The rise
and decline of gasoline sales covering the years 1939 to 1949 is shown in tables on page 11.
Some 348 applications for new licences in the petroleum industry were received
during the year, as compared with 397 in 1948. After careful investigation by the Board,
208 of these applicants were granted licences to commence business.
In the coal industry, retail sales were 1,567,545 tons, as compared with 1,381,349
tons in 1948.
LICENCES
The number of licences issued by the Board under Regulation 1, and in force on
January 1st, 1949, totalled 3,741. Of these, some 430 were in the coal industry. During

coal industry, following the granting of new licences under section 6 of the " Coal and
