MAKE CHANGE SUNDAY

Richmond citizens will have to hold
to two time schedules during the sum-
mer-the new daylight saving time of
the city, which takes effect next Sun
day morning at o'clock, and stand
ard time, which will be followed by
those businesses that extend to more
than Richmond
The railroads. following national
time. Mail schedules, being the same
as that of the trains, naturally do not
change.
The interurban lines will still use
standard time in making out their
schedules, as their relations to other
lines and to other cities make it i'm
possible to change the schedule in
such manner.
which plies between two cities where
daylight saving will be in effect, will
not change its schedule
Local businesses will accept the
new time as a matter of course, set

Ordinarily the business house will
not be effected particularly by the
change in time, as 1t will have over
Sunday to become acclimated to the
change.
1t is the Sunday morning church
that will feel the brunt of the change
in time. AS the clocks will have to
be changed on Saturday night, in or
fa r. 50,
it is inevitable that some will forget
and be an hour late for service that
morning
All of the churches will accept the
change in time, according to reports
received Wednesday morning. I'VE
shall just go along with the rest of
the city," said one minister when
called in reference to the change.
The postoffice will not conform to
the change in time for the city. "Our
hours are set in reference to the time
at which mails are received said a
postoffice official Wednesday, $50 we
shall have to keep to our old sched-
ule"
Western Union Changes.
The Western Union telegraphy
company will change it's time to con-
form to the local custom. The office
Is now open from a. N. to 9:15 p. m.
and the same hours, under local time,
will be followed all summer.
The Postal Telegraph company stat
ed that change in time would have
TO be taken up with the superintendent
at Indianapolis. 1t was intimated, how
ever, that ordinarily the postal Offices
did not conform to any local time, but
| kept to standard time. in order that
the Offices could work together.
Most of the manufacturing concerns
were still undecided as to the action
that should be taken in regard to the
matter, in some cases the action being
left for decision until the wishes of the
employees could be considered.
Any change in the time for the
street railway had to be referred to
Indianapolis, the superintendent stat
ed, but action probably would depend
upon whether the manufacturers de-
cided to change time or not
Phone Company Changes
The telephone company has decided
upon change of time, it was said, at
their offices, as the effect of a change
Of time was felt only on the long dis
tance messages. and there mainly in
the recording of the time of the call
How the change in time will affect
the newspapers has not been deter
mined. The Associated Press news
probably will still be sent to the pa
per at the old time, so that the paper
may have to be printed on standard
time in order to furnish its full quota
! of dispatch news.
Bus lines which connect Richmond
with the nearby towns have not made
. a decision as to the time of operation,
{ it was said, although it was stated
that some of the operators of lines
were infavor of changing their time,
while others were opposed.
Bus lines which bring to Richmond
people who are employed in the city
are said to be in favor of changing
their time so that their passengers
can reach town in time for work, but
those that ply between two cities and
whose patronage is that of shoppers
who visit Richmond are not in favor
of the change.
