Oil pricing meeting held genvea )ap) - Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, OPEC's two biggest producers and source of about 85 per cent of the oil imported by Canada, were $2 apart today as the 138- member cartel's oil ministers gathered for an emergency meeting to try to restore crude cil, while Saudi Arabia, the biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum exporting countries, said it will go no higher than $34 U.S. (about $41 Canadian). Saudi Arabia provides about 45 per cent of the 460,000 barrles of oi! Canada imports daily. Venezuela accounts for 40 per cent. Twenty-five per cent of the oil consumed in Canada is imported. Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, the Saudi oil minister, said Tuesday after tow days of preliminary negotiations, that a unified price formula can be worked out. But he insisted he will agree to boost his base price of $32 by no more than $2, and even that “would be very hard” to accept. “We are happy with $32,” he said. He said that if $34 is agreed on, it must be "frozen for a long period of time.” Venezuelan Oil Minister humberto Calderon Berti was equally adamant that his government will not reduce its base price of $86. He said Vanezuela can sell all the oil it wants to at that price even in today’s glutte market. “If the others accept $36 a barrel, we'll have a dicision,” he said. “If not there won't be. a decision.” OPEC prices presently range from Saudi’ Arabia's $32 a barrel to $40 ‘charged by African producers for top-quality crudes. Most of the countries charge about $86. But Saudi Arabia's daily production of more than 10 million barrels is more than 40 per ent of OPEC's output and both reduces the average price and maintains the oil The spokesman said the + embassy, which represents U.S. interests in Tripoli, passed on the U.S. message protesting “the unprovoked attack against American naval aircraft operating in international airspace.” The spokesman said he know of no immediate Libyan planes clash reaction to the note. In Brussels, a meeting of senior officials of NATP was called today at the request of the U.S. today to discuss the incident. Weinberger said formal notice of the U.S. military exercise had been given to aircraft and mariners.

Chilliwack and Langley City have delayed payments to school boards and Port Moody, which is owed $1.2 million, is to review the situation before its next pay- ment to the school board is due this month. Helen Casher, vice-- Jim Ogilvie of Kimberley, sald Tuesday the union has demanded a meeting with Curtis and depending on the outcome, the organization could recommend that all municipal payments: to school boards and the government be delayed in similar fashion. Some municipalities have of the B.C. School Trustees Association, warned that if finance ministry delay continues ‘‘it will be taxpayers who will suffer because either the school boards or saunicipalities will have to borrow money at today’s high interest rates.‘* When communities collect annual general purpose and school taxes they then bill Victoria for homeowner deadlines and about 80 per cent of Property | owners in those have grants due to their pal ney estimated the provin- cial government has paid about $225 million in home- owner grants last year and the current delay is costing muni- cipal taxpayers more than $100,000 a week in lost inter- est because the money would normally be invested. Until Curtis’s edict came into effect in early July the provincial government had for some 10 years paid the home- owner money to municipal- ities within a week to 10 days after it had been requested. Ogilvie estimated that about 100 municipalities have early to mid-July property tax probably paid their taxes, He said the union has been unable to find the reason for the Curtis’ edict other than it is part of a ‘finance ministry cash management study which could mean anything." He explained that since municipalities collect school taxes for school boards they are required by iaw to make installment payments to the boards. Ogilvie’ said some muni- cipalities have delayed pay- ments ‘to school boards be- cause ‘‘under the law the homeowner grant must first be applied to reducing school taxes." Feds haven't written about taxes VANCOUVER (CP) - Rev- enue Canada has yet to issue a written demand for excise ‘Revenue Canada set an Aug. 5 deadline for payment of the tax, warning that payment after that date would include a 12-per-cent penalty. estern provincial gov- ernments bitterly oppose the taxes, saying they represent an incursion into provincial juisdiction. The taxes include a gas sales tax of 45 cents per thousand cubic feet, an eight- per-cent tax on producers’ oil and gas revenues and the Canadian Ownership Allow- ance levy on sale of oil and gas products, introduced to help finance Petro-Canada’s acquisition of Petrofina. The Social Credit govern- ment has ordered provincial Crown corporations suck as Hydro and the B.C. PetroO- eum Corp. to withhold pay- ment of the taxes pending a court ruling on their validity. In the meantime, Hydro is collecting the tax from consu- mers and investing the pro- ceeds. As of Aug. 4 the utility had $20.97 million in collec- tion taxes, Dickson said. If B.C.’s refusal to pay the taxes is upheld by the courts, the money will be refunded to consumers with interest, Changes to media urged front page - Irving group, which has all five New Brunswick English the s recommendations will amount to little more than research material for: graduate stu- dents unless they are accep- ted by cabinet and by Parlia- ment, and there was no quick Act to lish rules for ownership of news- papers and to create a three- member press rights pane! as watchdog for the act. — Outlawing acquisition of m sg even though it has had the ‘report for a month.
