Eden Steps

prime minister Neville Chamber- lain and vastly inflate his own political stock. But Eden kept his secrets.

His son. Ilmon Eden. an RAF officer. was killed in action in Burma in 1945. Word reached Eden just before he was to make a political broadcast. He kept the news quiet. refusing to make pol- itical capital out of his bereave- merit.

Eden is not a rich man. His 5:10.000 a year as prime minister will be his financial mainstay. ALSO COURAGEOUS

Heroism as an infantry captain at the front won him the Military Cross in the First World War.

Two years ago. after undergoing two operations here for gallstones. he was told he would have to have siiother and much more dangerous one.

"I'm very glad." a friend quoted him. "There are no half measures about it now. You're either all right or you go under."

He was under the knife in Bos- ton for four hours. Since then he has been fit.

SETS TOUGH PACE

The handsome aristocrat has a quick temper. The story goes that he once hurled a paste pot across his office in sudden rage. The men around him loyally excuse his oc- caslonal outbursts. pointing to the pace he sets himself.

Sometimes he has looked drawn and tired. But he loves work and finds little time to relax. When he does his interests lie in gardening, swimming. popular novels and painting. Like Churchill. he paints.

Interested in Persian literature. he once surprised the Aga Khan by making a speech in Persian.

Eden was the son of Sir Wil- liam Eden whose hot temper was legends y in the midlands and whose 700-year-old family had pep- pered history with illustrious sons.

Eden went "to Oxford. then plunged into politics. his only pro- fesslon.

He married Beatrice Beckett. daughte of a '01: banker. gervase Beckette. In I023.

Eden divorced her in INO. charg- ing desertlon. In llu.lie man-led Churchill's niece. Clarissa, now 81. whose auat Lady Churchill has set trades example at 10 Downing s .

Utilities Board . Decision

In Gasoline License Case

An interesting case concerning an application for a gasoline lie ence came before the Public Util- itles Commission recently. Follow- ing is the text of the Commie- slon's decision which has now

been released. Mr. F. A. I-arse. him

Q.C., acted for the appellant. and Allison Gillls for the Commission.

"This is an application of Parker Csnfield of Crapaud in Queens County. hereinafter refer- red to as 'the appllcant'. for a gasoline outlet operated by him in connection with a general store. A formal hearing was or- dered by the Commission when the question of the propriety of granting a renewal arose out of communications a nd discussions between the applicant and Mr. Brennan.

"While this Commission is at times required to exercise some quasi - judicial functions. it is nevertheless. an administrative

daywhen.ascordingtotlierec- ord.theepplicanthadre-consid- eredanddecldedln "ueln business. we feel that it should iiotnowbebeldtobavebeenir-

to be precluded from having his Imlllcation entertained in the usual way. LICENSE RENEWED

"As to the merits in general it has long been Commission policy to refuse to grant applications for new outlets unless the pump island be located not than twelve feet from the nearest side of the highway. yet we have con- sistently permitted existing out- lets to remain until existing equip- ment is required to he s placed when relocation according to the above requirement must be made.

"By a report of Commission survey now on file this outlet is located only 21 feet from the

body and is. therefore. not bound. centre of the roadway. thus in-

by the strict rules of evidence which must govern a Court of Law. and may. in discharge of its administrative duties. act upon evidence and information gather- ed in such ways as it can.

"However. due to the fact that an appeal lies to the Supreme Court in Banco from every deci- slon of the Commission. no prop- er ,pellate review can be made unless a complete record of the evidence upon which any decision may be based is available to that court. It was. therefore decided that Mr. Brennan should withdraw from the Commission for the hearing of this application and become available as a witness.

"On the 29th day of March. 1955 the matter came on for hearing and witnesses were heard on be- half of the applicant while Mr. Brennan gave the history of tran- sactions which require the Com- mission's study before decision is reached.

EVIDENCE GIVEN

The evidence discloses mat. for many years. the outlet in question was operated in connection with a general store by the applicant

i and his predecessors in title, and

prior to the applicant's acquisi- tion of title. one of the two pumps installed had been replaced by a computing pump while one clear vision pump remained. After s om e previous communications. the applicant. on the 18th of Aug. last. came to the Commission's Office and s ' ' permission to replace the remaining clear vision pump with a computing one but was told that he would not be given permission to re- place equipment at the existing location because that location did not comply with the Commission's requirements.

"This statement was met by a reply from the applicant that the like pemilsslon had already been granted to a nearby competitor. No such permission had. in fact. been granted to the competitor but it was found that equipment had been replaced without olr taining any permit.

"And it was further ascertained that, while the competitor had been in possession of his prem- ises for some time through pur- chase, no retail license had ever been applied for or granted in his name but one had been grant- ed to the predecessor in respect the premises which he represent- ed to own. The applicant was told that the equipment would be removed from the competi-

urged to agree to having his equipment also removed.

"While there is some conflict in the evidence. we are satisfied that before leaving the Commis- sion office the applicant express- ed himself as willing to have his gasoline ding equipment re- moved when he learned that. be- cause of the above mentioned ir- regularity. his competitor would also be out of the gasoline busi- ness. We are also satisfied that he declined an offer of a few days to consider the matter.

APPELLANT'S STATEMENT

"The applicant states that, on his return home and after con- sultation with his wife ,he chang- ed his mind and wished to re- tain the " to sell " and that on the following day he attempted to contact Mr. Bren- nan by telephone to inform him of the change of mind but was unable to contact him. Subse- quently. but on a date not fixed with certainty in the record. Mr. Brennan intervi wed the applicant at his place of uslness in Crap- aud when the latter admitted his former statement of willingness to give up the gasoline business. but then expressed a strong de- sire to be permitted to continue.

"As the record now stands. the impression to be gained is that the visit of Mr. Brennan to the applicant took place on the day following the interview at the Commission office. While we feel that the date was in fact much later. at this time we accept the record. reserving the right to re- open consideration on the ques- tion should need arise in future.

"If the Commission had been sitting and the applicant had made his statetnut to it of his willingness to give up. there can be no doubt that a valid concei- latlon of the license could then have been made. But. in view of the fact that the offer of time for consideration. although not expressly accepted. had not been withdrawn before the following

tor's place of business and was .

dicating that it is not 12 feet in- side the hlghway line but on the highway itself. and is one which ultlmatew must be relocated. The equipment of the applicant must now be deemed to require re- placement because of the appli- cation of the applicant made on the 18th of August last for per- mission to replace it with com- puting equipment.

"As it is not the policy of the C mission to create any undue hardship on any person in meet- lng the requirements of reloca- tion. the applicant's license will be renewed for the coming year on condition that the outlet be relocated to meet Commission re- quirements .as above set forth. prior to the 31st of March. 1956.”

No changes were current taxes on liquor, beer, wines. cigarets. tobacco. soft drinks and candies. The l5-per- cent special excise tax stays on television and radio sets, in addi- tion to the general 10-per-cent sales tax.

Mr. Harris calculated his budget

revenue for the current year at 34.202.000.000 expenditures of 34.362.000.000.

For the fiscal year that ended March 31, the government Monday announced an estimated deficit of 51-18,251,000 based on revenues of 54.107.136.000 and expenditures of 34.251.387.000.

Tuesday night. Mr. Harris re- vised that I954-55 deficit estimate upwards to 8l94.000.000 by adding to budget expenses a 1953-54 def- icit of about 346,000,000 in the old age pension, which had been ad-

.-

.. as a special government loan.

CUTS BOOST DEFICIT

He also said the 1954-55 pension fund deficit of S62,000.000 is being included in his spending figures for the 1955-56 year, forming part of his 34.302.000.000 total.

With this amoun of expenditure and under current tax rates. be estimated. he would have had a

His forecasts of revenue were based on an analysis that the gross national product-value of goods and services produced in Canada-would reach 000 this year. In 1954, it slipped by about two per cent to an estimated 323.905.000.000.

In a number of tariff changes provided in his budget. Mr. Her- ris proposed for the first time a tariff of 795 per cent on polyethy- lene resins. widely used in the plastics industry. It would be ef- fective Is of today when adopted by Parliament.
