DAYLIGHT TRAIN SCHEDULES.

News that the New Haven railroad
will adopt a daylight saving schedule
beginning Sunday, March %, naturally
throughout Vermont win be affected by
a conforming schedule on the part of
the Boston & Maine and Central Yer
mont roads. Certainly it is to be hoped
not. The annoyances that the schedule
of last summer brought to towns and
not been forgotten.
This year, moreover. the situation
with regard to moving the clocks ahead
is more complicated than ever Both
Vermont and New Hampshire have en-
acted laws forbidding any change in
time, the New Hampshire law including
a section forbidding trains to maintain
daylight saving schedules within the
state. Massachusetts still has daylight
saving on its statute books but there has
been a determined effort on the part of
agricultural interests to have it repealed.
New York's repeal bill contains permits
sive features under which New York
city and other larger centers viii prob
ably adopt the early hours, while the
New Haven roads announcement is
likely to bring about something like uni
form action on the part of Rhode Is
land and Connecticut cities.
Since the action of the Boston &
Maine is likely to depend in great meas
ure upon the disposition of the Massa-
chusetts law it is to be hoped the Iegis-
lature of that state will settle the mat
ter promptly. For if we must submit
to the annoyances of another train
schedule like that of last summer the
sooner we know it and begin to make
adjustments the better.
