A 90 day freeze has been
implemented on the prices of
gasoline, diesel fuel, propane and
home heating oil until October 1st,
announced the Premier William
Davis in the House this week.
During the price , freeze in
Ontario, a, one-Man royal commis-
sion will be established to examine
price levels, hear arguments from
the oil companies and recommend
to the Provincial Government what
it should do after the freeze.
This move will fix wholesale and
retail prices in the province at the
levels that were charged on June
23rd, federal budget night, plus the
excise tax of 10 cents a, gallon
imposed by the new budget.
To uphold the freeze the
Petroleum Products. Price Freeze
Act was given first reading in the'
legislature this week and it
provides for fines of up to $25,000
for corporations, and up to $2,000
for company officers or directors
convicted of raising prices, refus-
ing to supply information or
knowingly supplying false informa-
tion to the province.
, As the province does not have a
lot of inspectors to enforce the
proposed law Mr. Davis said "the
history of this kind of legislation
has been that it's sort of enforced
by the consumers."
Liberal Leader Robert Nixon
supported the Ontario Govern-
ment's 90-day gasoline and fuel oil
price freeze, but said "it should be
extended into the winter season to
help Offset home heating costs".
Mr. Nixon also asked Mr. Davis
in the House if he has any real
concern about energy prices that he
prevent Ontario Hydro's proposed
rate increases of almost 30%,
being reviewed by 'the Ontario
Energy Board.'
The Ontario Government an-
nounced a program to stabilize
income to producers of beef calves,
and the plan will guarantee
producers 50c a hundredweight for
stocker calves this year. This
guarantee is for the first year of a -
five-year beef calf income stabiliza-
tion program, but the government
says the plan "must not be viewed
'as a guaranteed income scheme,
'rather it is a plan to stabilize the
income of beef calf producers".

Government sponsored Home
Ownership Made Easy projects are
under investigation, according to
Housing Minister Donald Irvine.
Mr. Irvine said some people taking
part in the project are finding
themselves unable to purchase the
land 'on which their homeS are
built.,
Mr. Irvine is going to make a
policy statement in two weeks
which will . determine how fair
market value is placed on lot
prices.
Royal assent was given in the
Legislature thiS week to 12 bills,
including legislation to provide for
the province's first ombudsrrian.
Premier William Davis is faced
with one of his' toughest problems

minister. William Stewart, who

recovering in a London. hospital,
but he. is not expected to return to
work for "quite 'some weeks".
It is an accepted fact of provincial
politics that, just as the attorney
general must be a lawyer, the
agricultural minister must be a
farmer, and speculation at Queen's
Park as to Stewart's successor has
centred on three men - Environ-
ment Minister William Newman,
Robert Eaton, agriculture parlia-
mentary assistant, and Lorne
Henderson from Lambton.
