May it please Your Honour: Sir,—We have the honour to transmit herewith, in accordance with section 67 of the I Public Utilities Act," the Ninth Annual Report of the Milk Board under that Act for the year ended December 31 st, 1954. | I THE MILK BOARD. E. C. Carr, Chairman. Fraudena Eaton, Member. H. M. King, Member. Vancouver, B.C., February 15th, 1955. Ninth Annual Report of the Milk Board For the Year Ended December 31st, 1954 This Report of the Milk Board is made in accordance with section 67 of the " Public Utilities Act" and covers the calendar year ended December 31st, 1954. Tables giving up-to-date statistical information relative to sale of fresh fluid dairy products, similar to that given in previous Reports, are appended hereto. AREAS UNDER CONTROL OF THE BOARD During the year there were not any new parts of the Province prescribed as areas in which orders and regulations of the Board should apply. However, on August 31st all those portions of Vancouver Island which had previously been prescribed as individual areas were consolidated into one area, namely, the Vancouver Island area. This new area was divided into districts with boundaries corresponding to those of the old areas. The consolidation of the Vancouver Island areas was made to facilitate licensing and administration of quotas under the provisions of Order No. 40. With the old areas shown in parentheses, the following are the districts of the Vancouver Island area: District 1 (Greater Victoria), District 2 (Duncan), District 3 (Ladysmith-Nanaimo), District 4 (Parksville-Qualicum), District 5 (Alberni), and District 6 (Courtenay-Campbell River). BOARD MEETINGS The Board held four public hearings during the year, as follows: Kamloops, March 30th; Nanaimo, July 21st; Abbotsford, July 23rd; and Vancouver, December 28th. Three hearings were also held to deal with applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity, as follows: Vancouver, August 4th, re Bellavista Farms Limited to construct, equip, and operate a public utility plant at Milner for the purpose of processing milk produced by the dairy herds of said company and distributing said milk in certain districts of the Vancouver area, namely, the Langley and Surrey Municipalities; Ladysmith, September 30th at 10 a.m., re Charles Courtney, Ladysmith, to distribute milk, produced by his own herd, to the public for compensation in District 3, Vancouver Island area; and Ladysmith, September 30th at 2 p.m., re George and Margaret Helen Wyndlow to distribute milk, produced by their own herd, to the public for compensation in District 3, Vancouver Island area. Transcripts of the proceedings of all these hearings are on file in the office of the Board. i ♦ f In addition, the Board met thirty-three times in its office to deal with matters of policy and administration. Minutes of all these meetings are recorded in the minute-book of the Board. Numerous conferences were also held with all classes of distributers engaged in the industry and others, in both controlled and uncontrolled areas, to discuss matters pertaining to the production, supply, distribution, and sale of milk. BONDING OF MILK-DEALERS Under a judgment of the Honourable Mr. Justice J. O. Wilson, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, June 9th, 1954, in the matter of an application for a writ of mandamus to the Milk Board of the Province of British Columbia requiring that body to issue a licence to the applicant, Avalon Dairies Limited, permitting it to distribute milk, toe Regulations re Bonding Milk-dealers (approved by Order in Council No. 607, 1953) were declared ultra vires of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. This judgment was not appealed. The Milk Board, therefore, discontinued the administration of these regulations. JJ 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA QUOTAS In accordance with the provisions of Order No. 40, on February 15th all primary producers, who had qualified, were allotted basic quotas. Under the provisions of Order No. 50, on October 1st the basic quota of each primary producer was adjusted to bring it more in line with the whole-milk requirements of his milk-dealer. These adjusted quotas gave primary producers a better knowledge of the amount of milk they could expect to market for whole-milk requirements. In most cases the adjustment decreased basic quotas but it did not change any primary producer's percentage share of his milk-dealer's whole-milk requirements. It did, however, obviate the necessity of any primary producer supplying more than his new quota during a basic term in order to maintain his share of his market. LICENSING ■ ^Pursuant to the provisions of Order No. 50, licences are issued for a period of twelve months, or portion thereof, ending on March 31st of the period in respect of which they are issued. A summary of 1954-55 licences issued, cancelled, and in effect at December 31st follows:— Area Class I, Milk-dealer Issued Cancelled In Effect Dec. 31, 1954 Class II, Milk-jobber Issued Cancelled In Effect Dec. 31, 1954 Class III, Producer-Distributer Issued Cancelled In Effect Dec. 31, 1954 Class IV, Primary Producer Issued Cancelled In Effect Dec. 31, 1954 Vancouver Vancouver Island- District 1 — District 2 District 3 District 4 District 5 District 6 Totals 21 ■ 1 21 1 1 7 7 4,192 251 | 4 .... | 4 2 2 28 28 237 3 1 .... 1 1 —•-__ ——---. __.____. 11 —— 11 34 4 -__. j 4 — - — 11 6 8 — 11 6 7 57 1 | Z j Z 1 i 1 2 -.- | 2 -— — 8 — 8 54 2 | 32 32 1 4 .... 4 79 1 78 1 4,574 257 | ! 3,941 234 34 56 52 4,317 During the year nine Class IV licences were suspended upon complaint that the milk being shipped was not of suitable quality for use in the fluid trade, and two Class IV licences were suspended upon complaint that the primary producers concerned were adulterating their shipments of milk by the addition of water. All licences had been reinstated before December 31st. It is gratifying to note the sharp reduction in the number of suspensions of Class IV licences this year. ENFORCEMENT Court proceedings were taken on three occasions for the following infractions of provisions of the | Public Utilities Act 1 or of Milk Board orders:— * (1) Operating as a distributer within a prescribed area without appropriate licence so to do. (a) Found guilty in Magistrate's Court. (b) In this case a milk-dealer had been refused a licence because of failure to establish financial responsibility pursuant to the provisions of the Regulations re Bonding of Milk-dealers. The milk-dealer applied to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a writ of mandamus requiring the Milk Board to issue a licence to the applicant permitting him to distribute milk. Judgment of the Supreme Court was that the writ of mandamus must issue to the Milk Board directing that body to issue a licence to the applicant. (See Bonding of Milk-dealers.) 1 REPORT OF THE MILK BOARD, 1954 jj 7 (2) Extension of milk-distributing operations without first obtaining a certificate of public convenience and necessity as required pursuant to the provisions of section 12 of the Act. (a) Found guilty in Magistrate's Court. (b) Appeal from conviction pending at end of year. (c) Appeal abandoned on January 8th, 1955.

(b) Appeal from this dismissal pending at the end of the year. (c) Appeal dismissed, January 20th, 1955. The appeal which was pending at the end of 1953 (Enforcement (2), 1953 Annual Report) was heard in the County Court of the County of Nanaimo on January 26th, 1954. On October 12th, 1954, His Honour Judge Hanna dismissed the appeal. An appeal to the Appeal Court of British Columbia from His Honour Judge Hanna's judgment is now pending. . ROYAL COMMISSION During August the Milk Board reported to the Honourable Minister of Agriculture that the minimum-price provisions of its Orders Nos. 41, 48, and 51 had not and were not being complied with by all of the milk-dealers, co-operatives, associations, and agencies within the Vancouver area, and that some primary producers in the Vancouver area were not receiving the price for whole milk supplied for whole-milk requirements as set by said orders. Under date of September 3rd, 1954, His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in Council approved Order in Council No. 2008, which appointed the Honourable Mr. Justice J. V. Clyne as sole Commissioner under the provisions of the " Public Inquiries Act" to inquire into the enforcement of the said orders of the Milk Board and the extent to which the provisions of the said orders have been and are being complied with by milk-dealers, co-operatives, associations, and agencies within the Vancouver area, and in particular to seek answers to the following questions: — (1) Have all primary producers within the Vancouver area received the price for whole milk supplied for whole-milk requirements as set by Orders Nos. 41, 48, and 51 of the Milk Board less only such deductions as have been authorized by order of the Milk Board? (2) If all primary producers have not or are not receiving such price, to what is such violation of the orders of the Milk Board attributable? (3) Which milk-dealers, co-operatives, associations, or agencies have not complied with Orders Nos. 41, 48, and 51 or other orders of the Milk Board? | (4) What is the corporate organization and capital structure and method of distribution of profit of such milk-dealers, co-operatives, associations, and agencies, and who are the true owners thereof? And to inquire into any other matter in relation to the production, marketing, and distribution of whole milk in the Province that in his opinion it is in the public interest to inquire into as a result of the inqury into the matters hereinbefore set out; and to report thereon as speedily as possible to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council with the opinions which he may have formed in relation to the matters aforesaid as the result of the inquiry, and with such recommendations as he may think proper. Hearings of the Royal Commission commenced in Vancouver on October 25th, and were adjourned on December 21st until January 4th, 1955.
