Economy takes sharp fall —
National decline

reported

_ OTTAWA (CP) — The economy
fell sharply in August after
i stalled since last Decem-

ber, Statistics Canada said today.

The economy fell 0.5 per cent
; during August, the largest monthly
“decline since March 1986.

Finance Minister Michael Wilson
has admitted the country is in a
{recession and Statistics Canada said
today the economy was only 0.2 per
_ cent larger in August than 12 months
“earlier.

tributed mainly to a steep drop in
g00ds-producing industries, the
federal agency said.

Goods i

in previous months, the
downward momentum was concen-
trated in residential construction
which tumbled 10.3 per cent in
August to a level more than 25 per
cent below that of April,’’ Statistics
Canada said.
The weakness caused by fewer
Canadians buying houses spilled over

about one-third of activity in the
economy, tumbled 1.3 per cent in
August, compared with a slim 0.1

which account for the remaining
two-thirds of activity.

The construction industry fell 3.2

four monthly declines in a row that

to lated industries
such as cement, wood products, fur-
niture and appliance companies,
which all posted declines in August.

A steel strike that started in
August also took a big toll on the
economy.

Excluding the impact of the strike,
the overall decline in the economy
would have been 0.3 per cent instead

for several years.

“We are pleased that the com-
mission hs recognized that expen-
ditures related to gas system safety
are not optional,” said UtiliCorp
chairman and president Richard C.
Green, Jr.

Even with the increase, Missouri
Public Service base gas rates would

Gas costs to consumers have declined

VANCOUVER (CP) — Air-
BC, Canada’s largest regional
airline, is looking to growth op-
Portunties in the United States,
President Iain Harris said
Tuesday in a 10th-anniversary
review

He said an open-skies policy
for Canada and the United States
“opens a whole vista of
possibilities for us.””

““We already serve Seattle, and
Portland. I see nothing to stop us
extending down to northern
California, though that may
depend on who else is flying and
with what. Certainly, we are
going to be looking hard at

AirBC looks for

north-south routes.””

The airline has “‘created good
network concentrations in B.C.
and Alberta,’ Harris said, and
“would like to be serving Saskat-
chewan by 1992.’"

AirBC — with 33 aircraft and
1,200 employees — was formed
on Nov. 1, 1980, from a clutch of
small coastal airlines. bought by
Vancouver businessman Jimmy
Patiison for a reported $24
million.

Harris said AirBC — which
serves Castlegar — is taking
delivery of 50-seat Dash 8-300
turboprops at the rate of one a
month, starting in December.

} increase gas rates

In other news, UtiliCorp has
recovered approximately $15 million
US in cash to be received over two
years for its part in a recent set-
tlement of an anti-trust lawsuit.

The legal action was related to
overcharges from 1979 to 1982 by
three of the company’s natural gas
suppliers. The overcharges were

on to some of UtiliCorp’s
customers served by its Missouri
Public Service and Kansas Public
Service divisions. The settlement
represents a recovery for over-
charges, lost earnings and legal costs.

“*We will achieve a very substantial
recovery for our Missouri and Kan-
Sas customers,’’ Green said. ‘‘In ad-
dition, we will recoup our legal ex-
Penses and anticipate that our
divisions also will be able to recover
some portion of the earnings they
lost. We are extremely pleased with
this settlement.””

The Missouri Public Service
Commission and the Kansas Cor-
Poration Commission will determine
Procedures and methods for refun-
ding past overcharges to UtiliCorp’s
Missouri and Kansas customers.

In 1985, UtiliCorp joined with
several other utilities, the states of
Missouri and Kansas, and a farm
cooperative in a lawsuit against
Amoco Production Co. Oxy USA
Inc. and Williams Natural Gas Co.
The three defendants in the lawsuit
were accused of creating a monopoly
and fixing prices of gas they owned
on large tracts of land in south and
southwestern Wyoming, UtiliCorp
said.

Amoco and Oxy settled their por-
tion of the case Sept. 25. After seven
days of trial, Williams also agreed to
a settlement. The case was dismissed
Oct. 4 with none of the defendants

ing guilt, UtiliCorp said.
