vardness and confusion caused by
t.e diversity Of time systems which
we have suffered for the last two
years and the desira bi,i,y OF avert
ing lis repetition.
There is room, perhaps, for differ
ences Of opinion concerning the bone-
fits OF the daylight-sas'ing system.
TO tho majority it is certainly adj
vantagoous. but TO some it is detri-
mental. But there can be no differ.
