MINISTER

The

PO
Drawer

Prince
George
BC
Sir
An
open
letter
was
addressed
to
me
relating
to
the
campaign
of
the
city
to
secure
lower
gas
rates
for
the
residents
of
Prince
George
The
simple
but
searching
questions
asked
at
the
end
of
the
letter
cannot
be
answered
in
isolation
There
must
be
some
understanding
and
knowledge
of
matters
which
are
directly
related
to
the
rate
base
as
it
presently
exists
Readers
may
remember
that
the
financing
of
the
original
Westcoast
Trans
Transmission
¬
mission
line
depended
upon
an
assured
sale
of
a
given
volume
of
gas
The
initial
volume
contracted
to
the
BC
Electric
and
to
the
United
States
was
not
sufficient
to
enable
trunk
line
construction
nor
were
the
needs
of
British
Columbians
given
sufficient
consideration
Inland
Gas
ar
arranged
¬
ranged
to
contract
for
the
remaining
quantity
of
through
put
demanded
to
estab
establish
¬
lish
feasibility
When
Inland
had
to
arrange
its
own
finances
a
market
had
to
be
shown
for
the
gas
which
had
been
purchased
This
could
not
be
done
unless
a
line
were
extended
into
the
Okanagan
and
south
In
the
original
submission
the
whole
scheme
became
a
package
proposition
based
upon
a
single
rate
base
The
con
controversy
¬
troversy
in
Prince
George
started
at
this
time
because
a
local
company
desired
to
secure
a
franchise
for
local
distribution
without
assuming
the
greater
obligation
which
was
invoked
To
bring
the
past
up-to-date
one
must
go
back
to
the
Commissions
Public
Hearing
on
rates
which
concluded
in
Nelson
on
November
20th
1965
At
that
time
a
three
step
rate
reduction
was
ordered
with
the
final
change
coming
on
August
1st
1966
which
affected
the
September
billings
The
financial
year
of
Inland
ended
on
June
30th
1966
As
is
well
known
the
profit
shown
approximated
the
amount
predicted
in
the
city
presentation
to
the
Commission
However
the
statement
did
not
properly
reflect
the
impact
of
the
new
rate
structure
since
one
reduction
had
not

come
into
effect
and
the
other
two
had
been
operative
for
only
seven
and
four
months
respectively
My
first
thought
is
that
no
proper
re
reassessment
¬
assessment
of
price
can
take
place
until
the
rate
structure
has
been
in
operation
for
at
least
one
year
If
the
present
profit
margin
is
maintained
there
is
no
doubt
that
a
rate
revision
would
be
in
order
It
has
been
suggested
that
a
varied
rate
structure
is
to
be
introduced
and
that
cheaper
gas
would
be
available
in
the
Kootenays
I
can
find
no
factual
evidence
to
support
this
point
of
view
If
an
inter
interconnection
¬
connection
with
an
alternative
source
of
supply
reduces
the
cost
of
gas
to
Inland
under
present
policy
the
saving
would
be
reflected
in
a
system
rate
reduction
It
would
seem
that
in
part
a
case
for
a
zonal
rate
reduction
in
Prince
George
has
been
based
upon
an
inaccurate
rumor
about
a
situation
which
does
not
exist
in
the
Kootenay
area
Against
the
background
of
information
presented
I
shall
answer
the
questions
which
have
been
set
forth
I
believe
a
public
hearing
before
the
Commission
should
be
held
if
the
profit
position
with
the
reduced
rate
structure
remains
out
of
line
after
at
least
one
years
operation
has
been
reflected
in
the
firms
financial
statement
As
a
Director
of
BC
Hydro
I
have
difficulty
in
supporting
a
zonal
rate
base
since
electricity
is
sold
throughout
our
system
at
a
postage
stamp
rate
If
zonal
gas
rates
are
introduced
to
the
Kootenays
or
any
other
area
served
by
Inland
then
Prince
George
should
be
given
similar
consideration
I
have
already
agreed
that
utility
profit
returns
should
be
maintained
at
a
fair
level
If
the
profit
margin
of
Inland
continues
at
the
level
shown
in
the
last
financial
report
the
rates
for
gas
should
be
reduced
If
this
requires
a
hearing
by
the
Commission
it
should
take
place

The

In

RACE
The
race
for
the
national
Conservative
leadership
Is
on
In
earnest
and
its
be
becoming
¬
coming
increasingly
evident
that
John
Dlefenbaker
doesnt
plan
to
seek
re
reelection
¬
election
to
the
post
The
declining
popularity
of
the
party
among
Cana
Canadians
¬
dians
and
his
advancing
years
are
probably
the
mo
motivating
¬
tivating
factors
that
will
prompt
him
to
step
down
The
tall
Intense
Prince
Albert
lawyer
has
been
the
leader
since
December
1956
He
was
Prime
Minister
from
1957
until
1963
With
almost
seven
months
before
the
leadership
con

in

are
al
already
¬
ready
In
the
fieldOnly
two
of
them
George
Hees
andE
Davie
Tulton
are
regarded
as
front
runners
TUp
candidacy
of
two
oth
others
¬
ers
Michael
Starr
andAlvin
Hamilton
Is
contingent
on
what
Mr
Dlefenbaker
de
decides
¬
cides
to
do
If
he
resigns
as
they
believe
he
will
both
will
formally
enter
the
contest
Messrs
Hees
Fulton
Starr
and
Hamilton
were
all
members
of
the
Conser
Conservative
¬
vative
government
The
remaining
two
candi
candidates
¬
dates
are
Dr
Hugh
Horner
MP
for
Jasper
Edson
Alta
and
John
Maclean
a
Brock
vllle
businessman
who
failed
to
win
a
seat
In
the
1965
election
Most
Conservatives
In
Including
¬
cluding
many
who
have
strongly
supported
Mr
Dlef
Dlefenbaker
¬
enbaker
over
the
years
insist
that
the
party
needs
a
new
and
youthful
image
if
it
is
to
make
a
recovery
Mr
Dlefenbaker
Is
believed
to
be
too
old
for
the
job
The
Tories
are
quick
to
poinf
to
a
recent
cross
crosscountry
¬
country
sampling
of
voter
strength
which
showed
that
the
party
in
terms
of
pop

ular

now
trails
the
Liberals
and
New
Demo
Democrats
¬
crats
The
sharp
differences
among
Conservatives
over
the
leadership
and
policy
matters
are
given
as
the
main
reasons
for
the
de
decline
¬
cline
in
the
partys
fortune
Mr
Dlefenbaker
whose
acerb
wit
and
quick
thrusts
have
kept
the
Liberal
gov
government
¬
ernment
continually
off
balance
since
it
assumed
office
In
April
1963
Hees
Fulton
Close
continues
to
be
tho
enigma
In
the
leadership
race
So
far
he
has
not
said
what
he
intends
to
do
He
has
left
confidantes
like
Mr
Starr
and
Mr
Ham
Hamilton
¬

guessing
as
to
wheth
whether
¬
er
he
will

to

counting
on
strong
support
from
Quebec

He
dropped
out
of

between
1963
and
1965
when
he

In

The
towering
ebullient
Mr
Hees
doesnt
believe
his
resignation
from
the
Dlefen
Dlefenbaker

baker
cabinet
will
harm
his
chances
He
was
one
of
the

who

the
loyalty

to
Mr
Dlefenbaker
after

partys

father
said
Its
not
my
fault
I
was
ordered
to
get
low
grades
so
the
other
kids
would
trust
me
Who
ordered
you
I
cant
say
but
If
you
knew
youd
be
proud
of
me
Well

not
proud
of
you

says

cut
classes
35
times
in
the
past
three
months
that
you
have
been
seen
in
bars
every
night
and
you
were
caught
twice
trying
to
get
into
the
girls
dormitory
Somebodys
got
to
do
the
dirty
work
if
this
countrys
going
to
remain
strong
Its
all
right
to
say
weve
got
to
play
by
the
rules
but
the
other
side
Isnt
playing
by
the
rules
What
other
side
Never
mind
what
other
side
Its
kids
like
me
that
are
saving
people
like
you
from
slave
labor
camps
Dont
give
me
that
double
talk
the
father
said
angrily
It
says

the
re
report
¬
port
that
you

All

drunk
driving
charges

police
through
Iwas
drunk
as
welL
Didnt
they
give
you
a
sobriety
test
Yes
but
I
had
taken
sev
several
¬
eral
drinks
Just
before
I
was
caught
so
the
other
stu
student
¬
dent
wouldnt
know
I
was
following
him
It
will

come
out
in
Allen
Dulles
next
book
If
youll
just
be
patient
Ive
heard
some
cock-and-bull
stories
in
my
time
but
this
takes
the
cake
The
dean
of
men
said
you
were
also
involved
in
an
off-campus
LSD
party
which
turned
into
an
orgy
Well
youre
not
going
to
learn
anything
in
the
school
library
at
least
not
anything
of
importance
There
were
certain
people
who
wanted
me
to
go
to
that
party
My
attendance
was
approved
by
the
highest
echelons
of
our
government
You
dont
think
Id
go
to
an
off
campus
orgy
on
my
own
I
dont
know
what
to
think
any
more
