68 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



This department has beeu asked to assist the Utilities Oommisisi'On by 

 maintaining a standards laboratoiy for certifying to the accuracy of 

 measuring instruments used by the Public Utilities of the State, the 

 Board has authorized their part of it and I hope we may consummate 

 this act of co-'operation. 



Another matter in which this department can be of service other than 

 its regular instruction work, is to maintain a Meterman's School for sev- 

 eral days each year where information can he brought together and given 

 out conceraing the use of electric meters of all kinds. Many state institu- 

 tions do maintain such courses and they are very much appreciated by 

 those who patronize them. 



The teaching schedule remains practically the same as last year and 

 will not be repeated. 



Yours very truly, 



A. R. SAWYER, 

 Professor of Electrical Engineering.
