"The following fees shall be paid for each calendar year or portion thereof for each pump: (a) Where a gasoline pump and equipment is en-- tirely on the owner's property and av least cight feet from the limits of the highway, $5; (b) whers the gasoline pump is within the limits of the high-- lway or within eight feet thereof, $25." Pumps which are 68 feet or more from the centre line of the King's Highway will be exempt from taxation. Eight Feet of High-- way Limits Three Government bills got a rough passage through second readings in the Ontario Legislature yesterday. One Government bill, to provide for Police Court action against persons retaining rented storage batteries, received its severest buffeting from the Conserva-- tive ranks. The two other bills most hotly debated at second reading were, one to amend the Power Commission Act and another to amend the Ceme-- ';ery ~ACt' w se 22 a x _ 1t LEGISLATION UNFAIR SAYS OPPOSITION _ Although Hon. J. R. Cooke, Acting | "nairman of the Ontario Hydro--Elec-- ric Power Commission, said the prin-- riple of the amendment was to sim-- jlify the method of acquiring ease-- ments for towers in transmission lines, ind also to treat more generously t,hel 'armers on whose land the towers were olaced, the bill drew the fire of Wil-- liam E. N. Sinclair, Liberal House Leader. 'Not Anxious to Inform." Mr. Sinclair denounced the manner lln which this and other Hydro amendments were drawn by the Com-- mission's Legal Department. He com-- plained that the bill was a series of amendmients, and, unlike other bills, did not contain an explanatory 'x'xot,e nor state how the amended sections would now read. "It bears out what I said yesterday," declared the Opposi-- tion Leader. "The Commission is not too anxious to give this Legislature information. These amendments would be unintelligible to most members." _ Considering the clauses which changed the method of arbitration between the Commission and the prop-- erty owners in the matter of easement for transmission lines, Mr. Sinclair noted that it provided for the appoint-- ment of a valuator, who should de-- termine compensation for land or damages where agreements have not been reached between property owners and the Commission, and an appeal 'to a Supreme Court Judge within \thirty days after the valuator has fix-- ed compensation. | Attacks Thirty--Day Clause. | vo Other Government Bills, on Cemetery Act and Rented Storage Batteries, Hotly De-- bated Before They Are Passed On He dencunced a clause which re--| quired that claims against the Com-', mission must be made within thirty | days, and pointed out that it was left' to the discretion of the valuator as to whether compensation should be given if the claim had not been made with-- in thirty days. Also, when a claim had not been made in that period, an appeal could be made from the valu-- ator by the Commission, but not by the owner. "Did you ever hear of any legis-- lation so unfair?" he asked. He con-- tinued to charge that in arranging compensation for damages Commis-- sion employees showed ro consider-- ~tion for the farmers,. "Some of them (Continued on Next Page.)
