STILL.
ON NCENTRAL
TIME HERE

Although Americas had expect
ed to change from Central to East
ern time February l, in accord
ance with the expression of the
city council in a resolution di-
rected to the Interstate Commerce
commission, the official order foe
he change has not yet been re-
ceived here and nothing has been
heard from the commission as to
when the order may be expected.
After the passage by the coun-
Gil of the resolution asking the
commission officially to order the
change, a member of the commits
sion replied to the Chamber of
Commerce, which handled the cor
respondence, stating that it would
be delayed slightly, to be taken
at the same time with several
other matters of kindred nature.
That was the last word received,
although Secretary Perkins, Of
the Chamber of Commerce, wired
the commission Friday, asking the
status of the order.
In the meantime Americas is
operating on Central time, and
the clocks will not be set forward
until the commission officials so
advise.
