A. CARROTHERS,\nCoal and Petroleum Control Board.\nVictoria, B.C., 1942. Annual Report of the Coal and Petroleum Control Board\nfor the Calendar Year ended December 31st, 1941.\nOn November 28th, 1934, a Royal Commission, known as the Macdonald Commission, was appointed by Order in Council to inquire into coal and petroleum industries in British Columbia, special emphasis being placed on the cost of coal, gasoline,\nand fuel-oil to the public.\nThe report of the Commission relating to the petroleum industry was submitted\non October 21st, 1936, and the report dealing with the coal industry was completed on\nSeptember 27th, 1937. These reports were tabled in the Provincial Legislature on\nNovember 19th, 1937.\nThe final section dealing with \" the comparative value of coal and petroleum\nproducts for economic use in British Columbia and whether or not prices charged for\ncoal and petroleum products was unreasonable \" was not completed until December\n10th, 1938.\nThe Provincial Legislature on December 10th, 1937, passed the \" Coal and Petroleum Products Control Board Act.\" This Act set up a Board to control the sale and\ndistribution of coal and petroleum products in British Columbia. The Act has been\namended twice; the first amendment came on December 9th, 1938, the second on\nMay 10th, 1940.\nUnder section 36 of the Act the Coal and Petroleum Control Board was given\npower \" to make regulations deemed advisable to control and regulate effectively in the\nProvince the coal and petroleum industries.\"\nTwenty-one regulations have been passed by the Board since its inception.\nFollowing is a brief resume of the consolidated regulations of the Board:\u2014\nRegulation 1 (amended by Regulations 3, 8, 12, and 13).\u2014This regulation establishes a system of licensing for all phases of the coal and petroleum industries, and sets\nthe licence fee at $1, to be renewed annually.\nRegulation 2 (amended by Regulation 4).\u2014This regulation requires all applicants\nfor a licence to make statutory declarations confirming the accuracy of their statements.\nRegulation 5.\u2014Regulation 5 requires for firms or individuals engaged in the\npetroleum industry, both wholesale or retail, to submit confidential monthly gallonage\nreturns.\nRegulation 6.\u2014This regulation requires the coal industry to submit reports similar\nto those of Regulation 5.\nRegidation 11 (amended by Regulations 14 to 20 and replacing Regulation 10).\u2014\nThis regulation established rigid standards for the two types of gasoline used by\nmotor-vehicles and also set up fifteen price zones within the Province.\nTwo grades of gasoline were established for automobile engines\u2014namely, \" Regular \" and \" Premium.\" The sale of any other types of gasoline for motor-vehicles that\ndo not fall into either of the above categories was forbidden, and all retailers of gasoline had to have marked clearly on their pumps the grade of gasoline being sold.\nPrice zones set up by this regulation established both wholesale and retail prices in\nall outlets within that zone, but certain exceptions were made where unusual delivery\ncharges were unavoidable. This regulation also provided that all existing agreements\ncovering the sales of gasoline must conform to the prices in the above-mentioned price\nzones and forbade any unethical practices on the part of the retailer or wholesaler,\nsuch as games of chance, offers of free oil or other commodities in order to promote\nsales of gasoline.\nRegulation 20.\u2014This regulation is a rider to Regulation 11, respecting any special\nDominion tax to be added to prices laid down in Regulation 11.\nRegulation 21.\u2014This regulation was passed by the Board in accordance with its\npolicy of co-operation with the Dominion Oil Controller and covers the grading and\nprice of gasoline and is supplementary to Regulation 11. Q 4\nBRITISH COLUMBIA.\nThe following paragraphs cover in brief the price-fixing orders of the Board and\nCourt actions arising from these orders and the final settlement.\nThe first price-fixing order of the Board, known as Regulation 7, was made on\nOctober 22nd, 1938, and was to become effective October 26th, 1938. This order made\na decrease in the price of the gasoline in the Province, varying from 3 to 9 cents.\nThis order, which was considered very drastic by the petroleum industry, was not so\nsevere as the price reduction recommended by the Macdonald Commission.\nThis price order was opposed by the nine oil companies, and they were successful\nin obtaining a temporary injunction restraining the order of the Board. Following\nhearings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia the injunction was extended until\nsuch time as the decision had been heard by the Court of Appeal of the Province, to\nwhich Court the Government had carried its case. The Court of Appeal on November 29th, 1938, dismissed the hearings on the injunction.\nOn December 23rd, 1938, the British Columbia Government entered a plea to the\nSupreme Court that the \" Coal and Petroleum Products Control Board Act \" was within\nthe powers of the Province. Hearings commenced on January 9th, 1939. The Act\nwas declared intra vires, with the exception of those portions of the Act that dealt\nwith price-fixing. The Province then took steps to appeal the decision.\nOn June 9th, 1939, the British Columbia Court of Appeal declared the Act as a\nwhole intra vires. As a result of this decision the Coal and Petroleum Control Board\npassed Regulation 10, establishing prices and grades, and requiring grade posting.\nThis regulation called for a 3-cent reduction in the wholesale price of gasoline throughout the Province, with variations to meet special conditions at various points. The\ndivision of the Province into price zones in this regulation is similar to that of Regulation 7, with the exception of the Queen Charlotte Islands, which were transferred\nfrom Zone 3 to Zone 15. However, on an order of the Chief Justice of British Columbia\nthe Board was restrained from enforcing its order, pending an appeal by the nine\nmajor oil companies to the Supreme Court of Canada. On April 23rd this Court\ndeclared the Act intra vires and Regulation 10 became effective immediately.\nFollowing this the petroleum industry froze all deliveries of gasoline, save for\nessential services, for seven days. At the end of this \" strike \" an agreement was\nreached between the Government and the industry; Regulation 10 was rescinded and\nRegulation 11, the present price regulation of the Board, was approved May 14th, 1940.\nRegulation 11 brought a 2-cent price reduction in gasoline for the Victoria and Vancouver areas and larger reductions in other parts of the Province, varying from 3 to\n8 cents per gallon.\nThe following is a table of the comparative tank-wagon prices of Grade II. gasoline in British Columbia and larger centres in other parts of the Dominion:\u2014\nCity.\nGasoline\n(Tank-\nwagon ).\nGasoline\nTaxes.\nTotal Price.\nDominion.\nProvincial.\nCents.\n17.5\n17.5\n21.0\n20.5\n18.0\n20.8\n18.9\n16.0\n15.0\n17.0\n16.5\n16.5\nCents.\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\nCents.\n8\n8\n7\n7\n7\n7\n7\n7\n7\n8\n10\n10\nCents.\n28.5\n28.5\n31.0\n30.5\n28.0\n30.8\n28.9\n26.0\n25.0\n28.0\nSt. John, N.B.\n29.5\nHalifax, N.S. \t\n29.5\nIt is to be noted the price of gasoline is lower in British Columbia than in any other\npart of Canada. This is to be definitely attributed to the existence of the price structure in this Province set up under the Board. REPORT OF COAL AND PETROLEUM CONTROL BOARD, 1941. Q 5\nThe administration of the \" Coal and Petroleum Products Control Board Act\"\nhas had a stabilizing influence on the gasoline industry in this Province. The policy\nof having a fixed price rather than a maximum price eliminated price-cutting, which\nwas continuously detrimental to the industry in certain parts of the Province, but\nparticularly in Vancouver. Restricting the number of licences led to increased volume\nof sales per outlet. Prior to the advent of gasoline rationing, the position of the\nservice-station operator was improving even though he was operating at a lower margin\nper gallon than previously. Even under present conditions, the regulations of the\nBoard are beneficial to the industry, and operators are anxious that protection given\nshould be continued.\nDuring the calendar year of 1941 the reduction of the price of gasoline under\nRegulation 11 has saved the motoring public approximately $1,113,000. Since there\nwere 104,241 passenger vehicles operating in the Province in 1941, this amounted to\nan approximate saving of $10.67 per motorist.\nRetail Sales of Gasoline to Motorists for the Period\nJanuary 1st to December 31st, 1941.\nGallons.\nVancouver and District 25,420,033\nApproximate saving at 2 cents per gallon $508,400.66\nVictoria 6,363,091\nApproximate saving at 2 cents per gallon 127,261.82\nBalance of Province 15,916,888\nApproximate saving at 3 cents per gallon 477,506.44\nTotal approximate saving $1,113,168.92\nLICENCES.\nThe number of licences issued by the Board under Regulation 1, and in force on\nJanuary 1st, 1941, totalled 3,481. Of these, some 572 were in the coal industry.\nDuring the year thirty-eight new licences were granted by the Board, covering both\nthe petroleum and coal industries. Offsetting this increase various licences were\ncancelled, due to operators discontinuing the sale of either coal or petroleum products,\nleaving in force at December 31st, 1941, some 3,461 licences.\nSummary of Licences, December 31st, 1941.\nPetroleum Industry\u2014\nPetroleum refiner ., 8\nPetroleum wholesaler _.. 355\nPetroleum retailer 2,530\n 2,893\nCoal Industry\u2014\nMine operator 22\nWholesale coal-dealer 77\nRetail coal-dealer 469\n 568\nTotal 3,461 Q 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nThe following table gives a breakdown of petroleum licences issued by the Board\nduring 1941 to the various oil companies and individuals, in respect of bulk plants,\nbarrel agencies, or distributing points; and licences restricted to the sale of fuel and\nlubricating Oils.

Apart\nfrom this, all new licences granted, through which the sale of gasoline to motor-\nvehicles would be made, or where the installation of new equipment was applied for,\nhave also the approval of the Dominion Oil Controller, his orders governing both the\ncommencement of new outlets in the petroleum industry and the installation of pumps\nand dispensing equipment.\nSpecial licences granted under section 6 during 1941 are as follows:\u2014\nPetroleum Retailer's Licence, 14.\u2014Of these, 13 are operating; 1 is still waiting\ndelivery of tanks before commencing. These retail licences are as classified below and\nat the following points in the Province:\u2014\nRestricted retail marine, 6: Goose Bay, Nelson, Ladysmith, Sonora Island,\nSkeena River, and Maple Bay.\nRetail restricted to fuel-oil only, 1: Chemainus, V.I.\nRetail barrel agency, 1: Abbotsford.\nService outlets, 6: Revelstoke, Castlegar, Sheep Creek, Horsefly, Pinchi Lake,\nand Clayhurst.\nPetroleum Wholesaler's Licence, 4-\u2014Goose Bay (marine outlet), 1; Abbotsford,\nDuncan (barrel plants), 2; Chemainus (fuel-oils), 1.\nSpecial licences granted under section 6 to new operators taking over existing\nbusinesses in the petroleum industry:\u2014\nPetroleum retailers 290\nPetroleum wholesalers 7 REPORT OP COAL AND PETROLEUM CONTROL BOARD, 1941.

These were dealt with in co-operation with both the Dominion Oil Controller and the Dominion Coal Administrator, resulting in fourteen licences being\nrefused by the Board.\nTwenty-six retail outlets selling gasoline closed down during the year, while ten\nsurrendered their licences. The others closed mainly due to lack of business. The following types of outlets were closed: Four garages, six service-stations, sixteen pumps\n(located at stores or connected with businesses not catering exclusively to the automobile trade).\nDuring the year there has been no change in the number of oil companies operating\nin the Province. The Signal Oil Company was purchased by the Standard Oil Company of B.C. and licences held by them were taken over with the approval of the\nBoard. The Imperial Oil, Limited; Shell Oil Company of B.C.; Union Oil Company\nof Canada, Limited; and the Standard Oil Company of B.C. extend their operations\nover the greater part of the Province. The Home Oil Distributors, Limited, and the\nB.C. Fuel Company, Limited, have more or less extensive distributing facilities, but do\nnot cover the entire Province, the B.C. Fuel Company, Limited, confining its distribution to the lower mainland and Vancouver Island.\nThe British American Oil Company, Limited, and the\/McColl-Frontenac Oil Company, Limited, distribute their products mainly in the eastern and southern part of the\nProvince.\nIn addition to its regular work the Board has co-operated with the Dominion Oil\nController and the Dominion Coal Administrator, and acts especially in an advisory\ncapacity to the latter.\nGASOLINE SALES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nIn 1941 the sales of gasoline in the Province of British Columbia increased\n5,784,000 gallons over 1940, making a total of 70,995,000 gallons. Of this amount\napproximately 63,249,283 gallons came from the refineries of- British Columbia. This\ngasoline consisted of approximately 50,178,797 gallons which were refined from crude\noil and 13,070,486 gallons of imported blending gasoline. The gasoline imports from\nthe Province of Alberta amounted to 7,189,697 gallons, which was an increase of\n2,552,892 gallons over 1940. There was a marked decrease in refined gasoline imported\nfrom United States and Alaska. The total number of gallons so imported dropped\nfrom 2,672,719 gallons in 1940 to 556,020 gallons in 1941.
