Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 17 of A BILL TO AMEND THE FUEL OIL TAX ACT NOTE. Seotion of the above Act prohibits the use of purple gas except in a tractor, combine or stationary engine while operated on a far:m for agricultural purposes. The purpose of subsection (2) added to

section by the Bill is to permit the use of purple gas as stated in the subseotion. This amendment neeessitates the amendment made to

section by the Bill which will permit the sale of purple gas for the purposes mentioned. Under subsection (1) of

section 36, when a person is convicted of having purple coloured fuel oil in a motor vehicle, except in tractors, etc., while operated on a farm for agricultural- purposes, a magistrate' has no option but to impound the motor vehicle for a period of not less than four teen days.

This has been found to work hardships in many cases, particularly during the period of putting in crops and harvesting,and the purpose of the am,endment to the said subsection is to give the magistrate a discretion as to whether the motor vehicle should be impounded in these cases, and also to make' the pe,riod of impoundment within the discre tion of the magistrate not exceeding fourteen days.
