Hangar. Five Planes L081 Ill $50,090 FilPC

(By The Canadian Prose)

FREDERICTON, Jun. M-Flre, believed to have started {rum an ofllce stove, caused loss estimated 8t $50,000 tonight when it de- stroyed five planes. a hangar and other aircraft equipment at Bar- ker's Point, three miles from Fredericton on the north aide of the Si. John River.

James Sturgeon, head of the privately-owned Sturgeon Air Ser- vice. said that in addition to the hangar he had lost three fleet Canucks, two dismantled Cyrus Moths, u new Link TTalncr which had just been uncrated, four crated engines, other plane parts, vrlngs and a umber of tools. He said 'hls loss was partly covered by insurance. The hangar was enveloped in flames soon alter the fire broke out. A second hangar containing three more aircraft was saved with the help of a favorable wind.

Mr. Sturgeon said he was ap-

proaching the hangar when he saw flames burst from it. In a few minutes. the entire structure was a mass of flames. With such a ireadstart it was impossible to check the blaze. Owing to disruption of telephone lines at the airport no call could be sent to the Fredericton Fire Department or its branch station house on the other aide of the river. Lack of water facilities for fire fighting was another fundi- cap.

Mr. Sturgeon and his nine em- ployees assisted ~by"residents who al-llakhr slithered, . as well as t ey could. ‘Ilhey had to confine their efforts chiefly to removing flying equipment from the second hangar before toe flames could reach lt. The entire iangar was soon levelled as the flre spread rapidly among tinder- dry airplane parts.

Text of Bfitcrnent

OTTAWA, Jan. BQ-(ON-Text of statement by Finance Minister Abbott on. Dominion-Provincial taxation agreements:-

In view of the recent discuss- ions which have been taking place with several provinces look- ing to the conclusion of taxation agreements, I think it important that I should now make a com- prehensive statement, outlining the present status of these negotia- tions. '

It is dcslruble, in this connec-- lion, to recall the objective under- lying the original proposals in August, 194E» which were the oo- jectlves in the budget proposals, and which are the objectives today. It was the Dominion Government's hope to see a foundation laid for co-operatic-n hntwer-n DOhllTllOll and Provlnrcs so that. all Govern- ments would he in a position to act effectively to prevent a re- petition of the calaml-tous "lays of the thirties. The government's program was desi-gneri tn- achieve. a high and stable level of employ- ment and income. An essential and integral part of this program was the objective of putting all provincial governments in a posi- tion to discharge their responsibil- Piles.
