eion, at least throughout the winter
and longer if the interest in the pos
headquarters seems to justify it, Tha
was the unanimous decision at the
weekly meeting of the board last
Monday after hearing the report OF
the special committee submitted b,
the chairman, III. j. Hull. Other mem.
bers OF the committee were Dr.. j. r.
Bean and L. G. Wilson The board OF
trade pays the rent for the American
Legion hail on Bank street, and upon
representations made at the last
meeting of the board that members OF
the legion seldom visited the hall and
little or no interest was manifested
IN its maintenance a committee was
appointed TO investigate. The report
OF the committee was very complete.
and showed that while it is true that
little use is being made of the hall as
club, 1t has proved quite useful in
other respects The War Mothers
have shown much interest in main
tanning and have incurred much ex-
pense in equipping and furnishing it,
They are very much opposed to Civ
ing up the hall and it was stated in
the report that the War Mothers have
arranged for a series of entertain
ments for the benefit of the service
men during the next few months The
American Legion men themselves. il
was shown, have plans in view which
they believe will develop an interest
among the service men. increase the
membership of the post and prove
conclusively that the headquarters
justify the support of the board of
trade. II was also pointed out that
the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts
use the hall. After considerable dis
cussion motion by d. A. Callahan
that the recommendation of the com
mittee be adopted was unanimously
passed.
No More Daylight SAVING
The secretary read number of in
teresting communications, some of
which will receive action next week
while others required no formal ac-
ton. Quite a lengthy letter signed by
the mayor and all members of the
council was read in which the time
question was reviewed and a request
made for recommendation from the
board OF trade. 1t was pointed out
that last spring the council passed a
daylight saving ordinance under
which the city uses coast time during
the spring and summer and mountain
lime during the fall and winter. The
council stated that the system had not
proved satisfactory and that it was
believed that sentiment now favored
/ return to coast time throughout
he year, especially since the inter
tate commerce commission had re-
used the request of the state utih- |
les commission to place Idaho in the |
mountain time zone The letter indi- |
ated that the mayor and council were /
q favor of repeating the daylight |
aVing ordinance, but as the ordln-
nee had been passed chiefly upon
be recommendation of the board of
-ade, the council desired an express
on from the board with respect to
S repeal. The matter will probably
e disposed of at the next meeting
Callahan Appreeiative.
The time question received further
Itention in a letter from Hon Donald
. Callahan. representative-elec from
hoshone county. 1t will be recalled
lat at the last meeting, after the ]
lestiOn of passing a state law fixing
time as the standard for
aho had been discussed. a motion {
as unanimously adopted to leave the E
lestion to the good Judgment and ,
und discretion of Senator Feather d.
one and Representative Callahan, d
sidents of this city, who could be In
pended upon to faithfully represent a
e people of this city on the NOM d
tous question. Mr.. Callahan was q
identity much impressed with this
idence of confidence, and he ad- D.
essed a letter to the board warmly "
his appreciation which in 4
,ated that he would, as a good rep q
sentative should, endeavor to make
! legislative course conform to SEN e
nent on both sides of the contro-
rsy.
