56 Mr. W. H. Gurney, Mayor
55 Wingham, Ontario.
55 Dear Sir:
54 With reference to your communication
.51 of April 30th, we beg to advise that our
engineering staff, is preparing estimates in
connection with serving your district.
46 In connection with this matter you
44 should realize that it is quite an extensive
44 problem to figure on distribution for a
38 large number of towns involving a consid-
erable length of transmisison line and a
number of substations, and consequently
77 we have been unable to complete our es
76 timates before this date.
72 We expect very shortly to have the in -
66 formation available to submit to the
66 people at a public meeting, and you can
85 assure the ratepayers that the Commission
65 is pushing the mattes as fast as possible,
64 and that the informrtion will be given out
to the public and the rates and estimates
66 submitted as soon as our, engineers have
60 completed their work.
Yours truly,
Hydro Electric Power Commission
of Ontario

Exatninstions Later.
Because the change made by the De-
partment of Education in the time of the
inidsumrner examinations to be held this
year Hon. Dr. H. J. Code issued a state-
ment as to the dates the results will be
made known He said that the public
probably would not fully realize the fact
that the change had be made and would
make their summer plans in accordance
with the dates the results were made
know in former years The dates of the
examinations were put off for about two
weeks in each case this year because of
the unavoidable interruptions to school
work last year, chiefly from the influenza
epidemic and there will be a corresponding
delay in announcing the results as corm
pared with previous years. The dates of
the exarninations are: Jun, high school
entrance, July 2; junior public school
graduation, June 30; lower sehool, July 2;
Middle school, July Ilth, pass matricula-
dos, July 2; upper school and honor ma-
triculation, June 30. •
