OF a year "a general holiday has fallen
upon Sunday and been celebrated on
Monday by a general closing Of banks

about closing for the day. Instead

Fuel holidays hould be regarded
as national holidays IT is just as

various exemption boards have their
stttlnes there and their work goes on
regardless OF the fuel holidays.
One Of the members of the admin

necessary TO cut out the Broad street
ornamental lights when the power to
run them was supplied by the river
and not by electricity generated ny
coal.
Probably done for effect" replied
the comm ssioner. but 1t is possible
that we have to use coal at the plant
when the river gets too low. 1t Isl
TO safeguard this contingency that the
Lights are out, although / personally
think they could remain lighted all

good example and one of the ways
to set good example In the way Of
