It is also pointed out that the retail price was steadily boosted for several months before the two cents a gal lon cash discount was announced. The result will be that the retail price of gasoline will have been boosted ap proximately four cents a gallon with in the past four or five months, when the two cents cash discount is abolish ed.

On the Dominion’s side of the St. Lawrence. Ontario is geographically so situated 4hat.lt will enjoy exclusive rights to the 1,100,000 horse power of hydro-electric energy which Canada expects to derive as a by-product of the waterway development, just as New York will possess exclusive rights to the United States’ 1,100,000 horse power.
