W What will `be the ultimate `out - come of the curb gasoline pump problem which for years has proved a constant source of worry to a majority of Ontario towns`? ,rW'hatever it may be, at the pre- senttime lack of legislation cover- ing the subject is responsible for an ever-increasing uncertainty on the part of municipal councils as to what course to follow. The province of Ontario has enacted no legisla- tion to take care of the situation. A decision of the Appellate Court of Ontario plzevents municipal bodies from granting permits to erect gas pumps and declares` that all per- mits hitsherto issued are illegal. Ap- parently the only authority possess- ed by a municipal council is to ord- er all curb gas pumps off the `streets. V TO crane nyifhnnf Q\"h"\Q` fhf 2 Tha- streets. It goes without saying that a ma- -jor ty of councils are reluctant to ta such a drastic step. Many of the own<`s have been operating their pumps .for years and at pre- sent find th`em a very profitable source of business. In so-me cases it would be impossible for them to replace the curb `pumps Iby drive- in stations.- On the other"-hand, in Simcoe, as undoubtedly in other towns, a considerable number of those who operate these pumps are not in the automobile or garage -business, while business men whose whole revenue is derived from the motor car are now deprived of the right to engage in the sale of gaso- line by virtue of the decision which allows the council to -grant no per- mits for curb pumps. `Moreover. the permits whichenable present pump owners to carry on were illegally granted "and the latter carry full responsibility for the presence of the pumps on their premises. -I-I . . _ _ _ . ..:...... 1.1.... ....-.o...-.+ ~..n{-`.-.3-.-Knee lull? yuannyu vu ulavan 1..-, ...... ~.

The gist of the situation in Sim- coe is somewhat as follows: Under existing conditions, council cannot authorize the installation of a curb gas pump. A former Simcoe council and the chief of police have already demonstrated that any attempt to install one without authority will be summarily dealt with as an in- fraction of the boulevard 'b_vlaw. That same council, in view of its lack of power to grant permits. Washed its hands of the subject then and there. A new council com- es on the scene in 1928 and decides to try to remedy a situation which in its opinion reeks of unfairness and discrimination. Judging by past events. its effort must prove abor-. tive. It has no power to pass on ap- plications for permits except nega- tively. l 'r1'..1.-.5. +1..:. nn+m-in finx-nvn.mo:-ht ` 1'.lV'ly. Unless the Ontario Government steps in and empowers municipal councils to enact legislation provid- ing forxthe issuing of permits, only one solution remains, if the justice sought by town councils for all par- ties concerned is to prevail. Curb gas pumps must be removed. Even- tually changing conditions and in- creasing motor traffic will demand this step in spite of the non-action of the governing bodies. Indeed, we believe that in the near future the drive-in station will have attained such a popularity that the need for curb pumps will have been out-- grown, if this is not already the 043 ED 5. .. VI . C358. Ah. case. ., Already curb pumps have ag- gravated the parking situation in many 0ntario\towns to an `almost unbearable degree. In last__ week's issue `the Barrie Examiner carried on this same subject a forcible edi- torial which is reproduced in else- where. Barrie is faced with the s.1n*.:- rolblem as usimcoe, perhaps even ore intensified '-`by reason of :1 heavier tourist traffic. The council of the city of London has likewise had its troubles in this connection. It does appear that a qonference of the mayors and legal'advisers of the various municipalities should have fruitful results in providing a solution that will iron out most of thewrinkles at least until the time is ripe, if not now, for complete a- bolition of the curb gas pump.
