That a Provincial-wider investiga- tion be made into the financial con- dition of electric railways, was the request yesterday of a deputation from the Canadian Electric Rail- ways' Association before the On- tario Railway Board. They want the investigation with a view to be- ing allowed to increase fares. The deputation recently saw Premier Drury and the Government. J. E. Eastman, Secretary of the association, urged that the board be given greater scope. so that it could make inquiries and recommenda- tions on railway fares. oven whore fare-restricting agreements are in force with municipalities. Sir John Gibson supported the re- quest, and intimated that the board might have to take over a lot of railways which were operating at a loss unless some relief was afforded. Chairman D. M. McIntyre inform- ed the deputation that the Attorney- General's letter contained no in- struction to institute any inquiry. In the letter seriby the Attorney-Gen- eral to the board forwarding the companies' memorial u definite stipulation was made that he was "not unfavorable" to such an in-. quiry being made. but not where any agreements existed between the companies and the municipalities.
