profit through its 25-per-cent increase in retail prices of imported liquors spokesmen for distillers said here Monday They were commenting on the governments move effec effective � tive earlier Monday to increase by 25 per cent the prices on all imported liquor Attorney General Bonner said the price boost was a result of the federal governments tariff increases on imports announc announced � ed Sunday Distillery spokesmen who ask asked � ed that their names not be used said the provincial boost goes far beyond what was necessary to compensate for the federal tariff increases and the increas increased � ed cost of imports resulting from the devaluation of the Canadian dollar One spokesman said that in increasing � creasing the prices immediately means the BC Liquor Control Board will make a handsome extra profit on all import stocks on hand The price of a well - known standard brand of scotch whisky Monday was 9 80ffor a 25 ounce bottle It sold Satun day for 545 The five-per-cent BC sales tax is applied on top of that to bring the final cost to the customer to 714 One distiller said the provin provincial � cial boost is unfair because the federal tax boost is levied on the actual cost of the liquor at the distillery not the retail price The selling price of a bottle of scotch is about 180 before federal and provincial taxes arc applied He said the tax added by the federal tariffs would amount to 27 cents on 1 80 The provin provincial � cial increase added 135 to the price and all of that couldnt be justified even taking the de valuation to 925

recent FHA ruling that white spruce imported from BC is in effect Engelmann spruce a softer lower grade lumber Officials said Monday the ef effect � fect of the ruling is that US builders buying the Canadian variety of spruce the largest export from this area will have to use thicker heavier spans in framing houses insur insured � ed by the FHA The result may be higher costs or a switch by builders to other lumber For years the housing admin administration � istration accepted this B C lumber as white spruce but in recent months US lumber pro ducers protested that heavy softwoods imports from Canada were taking over an increasing share of the TTSfmarket Domestic producers argued that white spruce coming in from BC is in effect the same variety of spruce grown in the Rocky Mountain region on the US side of the border The FHA grading division finally agreed Canadian authorities argued that if the lumber from BC is Engclmanns spruce it still is a stronger variety than its
