Dear Sir:

Application is hereby made, under the provisions of General Order 119, for permission to remove the station agent at Hawkestone, Ontario, mileage 77.9 Newmarket Subdivision, and to appoint a caretaker in his place.

I enclose statement of earnings for the years 1931, 1932 and 1933, which amounted to:

1931 ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  .. .	$7,633.00
1932 ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  .. .	5,267.00
1933 ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  .. .	5,398.00

Our officers do no consider the earnings justify the employment of an agent; one is not required for train operation and they claim that the business can be handled satisfactorily with a caretaker in charge.

The nearest open agencies are Orillia 8.4 miles to the north and Barrie 13.8 miles to south.

If this application is granted we will retain a telephone in the station for the use of the caretaker in giving out information to summer cottagers regarding train times and in disposing of freight shipments, etc.

A copy of this application and statement of earnings are being sent to:

Mr. H. J. Crawford	Reeve of Oro Township	Oro, Ont.
Mr. T. A. Stone	Postmaster	Hawkestone
Mr. Bert Graham	Postmaster	Oro
Mr. Wm. Patterson	Postmaster	Shanty Bay

Yours truly,
I.C. Rand
Commission Counsel.
