The -tree was seven feet. inside the road • fence. From the place where the boy touch- ed the wire to the Parker home was 82 .yards, but by the gate *as 106 yards. ' Rural Hydro Superintendent H. J. Lampton, of Exeter, .told the jury he was notified of the accident at 7.25 p.m. .One of his men had come to his house and told him there had been an accident and went out to op, en the switches. The broken wire carried 4,000 volts. "There would be nd'tbing .to warn you there had been a break in the line?" the. Crown asked him. "No.'? The . sub -station was modernized three or four years ago and is simi- lar to others throughout the Province. No equipm.ent,has been developed, he • said, by which a break would be dis- covered. 'It 'would depend upon a con- sumer reporting an interruption. He agreed that Mrs. Kercher's evidence 'fixed the time at, which the wire came down. 1 - The line had been built infDecem- ber, 1938. The tree at that time had bad a lean, the witness -swore. ss -swore. The tree was considered sound and not u dangero s. •--'"Didn't you make a thorough ex- amination?" asked the Crown. .. "There was nothing to be seen." "Is your memory such that you re- call wrhat was done :to a particular tree?" "Yes." "Here is one tree on a long line and -yet you recall particularly What you did to that tree?" "We examined • that tree the same as any other." "Then we are safe in saying you have no special recollection of that particular tree?" Mr. Holmes said. Mr. Lampton"'then described switch- ing arrangements arcing the line and told of his experience and qualifica- tions. L. K. Sitzer, Toronto, hydroengin-,. eer, and H.E.P.C. distribution expert, was the next witness. "It seems an unusual lapse of time between the fall and the accident. In view of this, have, you anything to suggest in order -to avoid a repeti- tion?" asked Mr: Holmes.. •Mr. Sitzer suggested circularizing consumers to immediately repo interruptions in service. If a break occurs the consumers assume men are working on the line and, do not re post it, he said. He told the inquest there was no mechanical means of indicating a fal- len wire. The capacity of the Exeter station was 1,000 H.P. and the amount • of power needed to burn through a wire was so little that it would not record on instruments in the station. Members of the jury were Stan Tudor (foreman), Garnet Case, Fred Beer, O. Twitchell,' James Sangster, H. Dayman and Fred Deters. The weekly meeting of the Girl Guides was held on Thursday, May 8th: The Guides fell in for inspeetion.,. The Robin Patrol was the Honour ,Patrol.
