Premier William_ Davis in- dicated that the Ontario Government is considering a possible government industry consortium similar to the Panartic Oils Limited to explore for and develop uranium in the Province. The budget was expected to be presented on April 4, but Treasurer John White ha$ rescheduled this for April 9 in order to have an opportunity to look at the economic con- sequences of the increase in the price of gasoline and heating oil by 7 cents a gallon. Premier Davis has indicated also that his Government is feels he has been overcharged. Mr. Wells said the proposed changes mean a Member of the public or a lawyer can have an account or agreement for legal services reviewed by an ap- propriate Judicial officer in a way that promises to be simpler, faster and fairer than the present system. The Ontario Law Reform Commission recommended that a lawyer's bill should be signed by him or by another solicitor working for or with him. Its language should be simplified and it should be sent by ordinary mail. Another recommendation enables a client to apply for a review of the bill by a county or district court judge or other review officer within a year even if he has paid part or all of the bill.

Opposition members are awaiting presentation of the budget with considerable interest for in the last three years since Mr. Davis became Premier, the Government expenditures have increase() 18 percent faster than revenues and the Provincial net debt has grown by 122 pereent to 1.7 million dollars, Unless the inflationary trend of the last 4 Provincial budgets is Stopped we can expect ex- penditures of more than 0.3 billion this year with the Provincial debt growing by a further $720 million. Murray Gaunt, Liberal Member for Huron-Bruce spoke on the Throne debate this week and strongly criticized the Ontario Hydro's methods of negotiation and purchase of property for the power line corridor from Douglas Point. Be also criticized the choice of route for this corridor which at present is to go through 80 per- cent of class 1 and 2 agricultural land whereas an alternate route could have crossed only about 40 percent of class 1 and 2 land. In other matters this week, Pat 'Reid, Liberal member and labour critique from Rainy River, was elected chairman of the public accounts committee of the Ontario Legislature which studies revenues and ex- penditures of the Provincial Government of the preceding year, Also the new Health Minister, the Honourable Frank Miller indicated that the Government may possibly reconsider allowing licensed denturists to work directly with the public, ••••• ••• • • if • • • • • • BE A • BLOOD DONOR • •• ••••• • NDP in Middlesex choose new officers Your Blood is Always Needed has tendered his resignation from council.

Reeve Ivan Hearn will be making arrangements with the Ontario Ministry of Tran- sportation and Communications for repainting of the centre line on Main street.

Bernie Avery of Lucan has been given approval by village council to proceed with his plans for an apartment-office building. Avery has purchased the former Hedden grocery store property on Main street and plans on nailing it into four apartment' units and two of- fices. This is the third time his ap- plication for a building permit had come before council. On previous occasions permission was not granted because of the lack of parking facilities. In his latest presentation . to council Monday night, Avery said he would tear down a warehouse at the rear of -the property which would allow space for seven parking spots. An application from Elmer Mosurinjohn for a land severance was given approval, Councillor William Mathers The Middlesex North New Democratic Party Riding Association held its annual meeting March 26 at the U.A.W. .40 An kondon. The meeting, which began with a potluck supper, featured the election of officers for the coming year.

The report of the committees is not expected to be ready before May 6 but in the meantime workers at 10 Toronto hospitals could decide to strike, Mr. Nixon asked Premier Davis to make a statement of good faith asking the hospital workers to stay on the job until the report comes out. A statement read in the Legislature by Premier William Davis indicated that Ontario wants Ottawa to relax foreign ownership restrictions in the uranium industry,. The Premier said the restrictions are • inhibi ting exploration for uranium at the time when the mineral is becoming an in- creasingly important source of energy.. Ownership guidelines limit total foreign ownership of uranium producers to 33 1(3 percent and individual foreign holdings to 10 percent. Neither Mr. Davis nor Energy Minister Darcy McKeough made it clear just how far they wanted the restrictions relaxed but neither are convinced that equity requirements with respect to the ownership of uranium mines and the granting of exploration permits should be significantly different than those applied to oil, gas and coal where there are no such requirements. The statement was sharply attacked in the Legislature by Liberal Leader „Robert Nixon, wondering whether it meant the Government is ready to let ownership and control over uranium fall into foreign hands. tine Ontario Government report tabled in the Legislature said incentives should include higher market prices for uranium, long • term commitments by Canadian utilities and encouragement of export sales. The agreed price of $6.50 for Western crude oil by Canada's first ministers will mean an in- crease of 7 cents a gallon for gasoline and heating fuel. Liberal member Vernon Singer said this was a phenomenal increase, a shocking increase for pensioners, welfare recipients and others on low and fixed incomes and asked what the Government planned to do .to help. Premier Davis said he was very cognizant of the inflationary pressures on people on fixed or low incomes and said the Provincial budget which has been postponed to April 9, would reveal the Government's financial program, It hs been estimated that 30 to 45 days of petroleum products are in pipelines, refineries and storage tanks and according to Premier Davis the industry should maintain existing prices until current stocks are exhausted. Energy Minister Darcy McKeough said we should not see the higher well head price reflected on the consumer level before May 1 but also intimated that there was nothing Ontario could do specifically to hold down on prices. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon said prices' in Northern Ontario are higher than those paid in the rest of the Province and suggested a Provincial cushion on fuel prices for Northeners.
