He said the Union Oil of Canada refinery is currently being sought by Husky,Qil, an American concern, for a total of $38 million and the association has sent a telegram to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau re- questing that the foreign in- vestment roview. board not permit the deal, (Mr. Pressacco is a former CanCel employee who lived in Castlegar and is wellbkiown here. He moved to Trail some years‘ago to. become Texaco bulk plant agent there, and was dismissed. by the company earlier this'ycar under. contro- versial circumstances.) - Mr, Pressacco said the IPAA will ‘request both the provincial and federal govern- ments to lend money for the purchase but added if they refuse the money could still be obtained from private sources, provided that: other potential purchasers can be stalled long. enough. ‘Asked what those sources are, Mr.-Pressacco said there is’ a possibility of raising the, money from interested Cana-: dian financiers and individuals and also from abroad. He suggested that. if ser- vice station operators and bulk agents in B.C. were each to contribute $5,000 for which they would receive shares, a total of $15 million could’ be: raised and there would then be no trouble persuading banks to lend the additional capital. ‘Mr. Pressacco said the purchase would mean a re- duction in gasoline prices in B.C. of up to ten cents a gallon.

Browning, Union Oil vice-president for refining and marketing, said in Calgary that the IPAA purchase attempt was news to him. “Because they wish to pur- - chase doesn’t mean we would want to sell to them,” he said. “We have already accepted an offer from Husky, pending federal approval, so we could + hardly start looking at another offer.” The decision to attempt the purchase was made by the IPAA board of directors at a meeting last Friday after they ‘decided not to seek union af- filiation to protect themselves ~ from the oil companies. ‘The agents buy petroleum. products’ in bulk from oil companies and sell them to ser- vice stations and other outlets. Mr. Pressacco said many of the agents are operating under oil company contracts with cancellation clauses that can put them out of business on as little as 24 hours notice. He said the $38 million price tag includes the refinery, the outlets, $10 million worth of ST] enia SADDLE HORSES For Hire little used real estate that can be disposed of easily and the plant’s current inventory. To replace all this’ would cost $60 million, ‘he said and renovations of tho existing plant will cost only about $1 million, He said the IPAA con- siders the refinery a good buy and believes its operations could grow quickly although it would never dominate the oil industry in B.C. Commenting on the IPAA claim that the property is warts $50 million, Mr. Brown: ing said: “It's fairly logical that if its worth $50 million we would” not be seiling it ior $33 million.” Asked why Union Oi) would want to sell such a pro- fitable operation, Mr, Pressacco said he believes tho-major oil companies have divided North America into spheres of in- fluencejand the proposed deal with Husky Oil is part of the division. } Ho sald he also believes some stock market negotiations are Involved but declined to elaborate. Ho said if Union Oll refuses to sell to any other corporation but Husky, the federal govern: ment should step in and force Union Oil to continue nogotia- tions with other concerns. But Mr. Pressacco said he doubts that provincial govern- ment is interested in helping the IPAA and speculated it may already have approved the Husky Oil purchase although there is yet no word fram the federal government. But he added: “This is going io give an opportunity to the government to affirm that they are interested in ‘amall businesses.” » ‘The oil business under the major companies, he. said, “is “crooked and stinks from one end to the other, “This is nd to shake the HIDE-OUT .
