" PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA\n*$\nEighth Annual Report\nCOAL and PETROLEUM\nCONTROL BOARD\nYear ended 3 1 st December, 1 945\nPRINTED BY\nAUTHORITY OP THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. To His Honour W. C. Woodward,\nLieutenant-Governor of the Province of British Columbia.\nMay it please Your Honour:\nSir,\u00E2\u0080\u0094I have the honour to transmit herewith the Report of the Coal and Petroleum\nControl Board for the year ended December 31st, 1945.\nW. A. CARROTHERS,\nCoal and Petroleum Control Board.\nVictoria, B.C., 194.6. Annual Report of the Coal and Petroleum Control Board\nfor the Calendar Year ended December 31st, 1945.\nDuring 1945 conditions in the petroleum industry, due to the termination of the\nwar, changed materially. From concentrating their main efforts to meet war requirements, the industry set its sales force to seeking new markets derived from the civilian\nconsumption of gasoline, the result being that the Board received a deluge of applications for new licences, both from the oil companies themselves and. from private\nindividuals. Among these applicants were a great many men who had served with\nthe armed forces during the war. During the year 1945 the Board received 451\napplications for new licences, connected with either the sale of petroleum products or\ncoal, as compared with 40 applications received during the year 1944. While a number\nof new licences were granted during the year, a great many applications were held in\nabeyance to be dealt with at a later date in order that men returning from the armed\nforces would have an opportunity to take steps to re-establish themselves in civilian life.\nThe sale of gasoline through service-stations, due to the removal of gasoline rationing in August, increased over that sold during the previous year by some 9,988,345\ngallons.\nDuring the war years the petroleum industry was under rigid control by the\nDominion Oil Controller. His orders not only restricted the sale of petroleum products\nbut also reached into the various methods of handling the same. Equipment sales by\noil companies were prohibited and terms of leases were kept under strict scrutiny, this\nresulting in the removal of a lot of unfair practices previously prevalent in the industry.\nTowards the close of 1945, when the oil companies had found time to readjust themselves to re-entering peace-time industry, the Board called several conferences to discuss\nwith them whether regulations carried on as a war measure would be beneficial to all\nconcerned in peace-time operations. As a result of these discussions, the Board\nbrought in amendments to Regulation 11 of the Board, which amendments not only\ngive greater clarification to certain sections already in force, but make provision for\nthe doing away with certain practices carried on in the industry which previously led\nto unfair competition.\nIn the coal industry, the sales of coal in the Province dropped from 1,579,096 tons\nin 1944 to 1,538,727 tons in 1945.\nLICENCES.\nThe number of licences issued by the Board under Regulation 1, and in force on\nJanuary 1st, 1945, totalled 3,119. Of these, some 503 were in the coal industry. During the year a number of licences which were discontinued in previous years, owing to\nwar conditions, were renewed; 116 new operators' licences were issued in the petroleum\nindustry and 21 in the coal industry, following the granting of new licences under\nsection 6 of the \" Coal and Petroleum Products Control Board Act.\" Various licences\nwere discontinued during the year, leaving in force as at December 31st, 1945, some\n3,277 licences.\nSummary of Licences.\nPetroleum industry\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPetroleum refiners 7\nPetroleum wholesalers 362\nPetroleum retailers 2,397\n 2,766\n3\n2 K 4 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nSummary of Licences\u00E2\u0080\u0094Continued.\nCoal industry\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nMine operators 30\nWholesale coal-dealers 72\nRetail coal-dealers 409\n 511\nTotal licences 3,277\nThe following table gives a breakdown of petroleum licences issued by the Board\nduring 1945 to the various oil companies and individuals in connection with the operation of retail.outlets, bulk plants, barrel agencies, or distribution points; and licences\nrestricted to the sale of fuel and lubricating oils:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nWholesale.

Dominion orders governing the opening of new gasoline outlets were\nrelaxed in July, 1945, followed later by the removal of gas rationing, with a result that\nthe Board was immediately flooded with applications to open new service-stations in\nall parts of the Province. Among these applications were many from persons who had\nbeen serving with the armed forces during the war. Such applications received due\nconsideration, the Board taking steps to ascertain if the applicants would have a reasonable opportunity to re-establish themselves in civilian life.\nDuring the year the Board received 421 applications for new licences in the petroleum industry and 30 applications for new licences in the coal industry, resulting in\n156 new licences being granted in connection with the sales of petroleum products and\n24 new licences for the sale of coal.
