Last year tho e0wn OUunca of West eriy passed an srdihanee making daylight saving efrect44 en the saet Sunday in April A few weeks agN at the March meeting of he Westerly town council, at the reuues4 ef che New Haven railroad the council amended the ordinance SO chat 1t would conform to thN legislation which New York and Boston were planning to push through their respective city coun- cils. At that time the New Haven rail- road was planning tU amend the train schedules so as to uak1 them accord with the daylight saving schedule ef- fecttve on the last Sunday in March. Amendments vere passed bv the town of Westerly, the city of Providence and oth- CT place in Rhode Island to make day light saving effective on the last Sunday of this montA-
 | Now that New York and Boston have definitely decided to have their daylight saving law take effect on the last Sunday in Aprll and continue in force until the last Sunday in September, Westerly, like the city of Providence, finds itself face to face with the necessity of reverting to the original date provided for in the or dinance passed last year.
 The New Haven railroad company is exDected to make an announcement to- day (Thursday) or Friday which will dispel all doubts as to what bhe train schedule will be. It Is expected Presi- dent A. P. Datson, of the Westerly town council, will cali a special meeting before the end of the week and have the recent
 ly adopted amendment repe;lad, pro |, vided the New Haven road should de- eide not to adopt the daylight saving schedule until the last Sunday in April. But three more days however, remain between now and Sunday when the amended ordinance becomes eecttve. The governing bodies of the cities and towns of Rhode Island are anxiously
 awaiting the action to be taken by the Rhode Island legislature on tho pending bill which would kill daylight saving 1T
