the council Was asked not Co pass any vote favorinE the summer time earlier time schedule
 Robert W. Boys, agent of the Man hasset Manufacturing Company, ad= yaneed several reasons for the council urging the people of the city tn adopt daylight saving Mr. Boys points out that freight. express and train service, being on an hour earlier basis than mills under standard time, creates a situation that is only remedied by fac tories making their operating hours the same. Then too. he said, with mills forced Co go on the new time schedule, workers must leave for hone earlier for dinner. And because school children do not get home until after I2. another awkward situation exists. So the necessity arises. Mr Boys states. of having schools on the day light saving basis. Co avoid confusion
 Favors New Schedule
 State Treasurer Gilpatrie sees no powerful reason fer daylight saving not being adopted. In fact. he be lieves that fl ought to be an advan- taee to farmers, Wao ale among those who protest against it. In this con nection Mr Gilpatric states that with daylight saving, farmers children ar irving here on trains would not have to wait around m hour and more un= til schools buildings open at the usual hours. And Mir GIlpatriC sees an ad vantage for the farmer coming te town to meet early trains. the farmer saving an hours time afteyward when he wants to do trading, by stores open tne an hour earlier under daylight saving.
 John c. Johnson. general manager of the II K. H. Silk Company, is strongly m favor of daylight saving. not only from the manufacturers standpoint but for the sake of con venience. working harmony and the sundry other advantages of being oa the same time schedule as towns and cities round about Putnam, he also fa yored the change.
 Alderman Pigeon who is oversecr of weaving at the Putnam Manufac turing Company. states that mill workers demand the hour earlier time schedule. petitions being circulated 10 Influence their employers ta make the change in operating hours.

With Putnam's largest mills opet- ating on daylight saving time, clocks being turned ahead one hour. and with the retail stores of the city do- ing business under an identical time schedule, 1t appeared today that next Monday will mark the advent in Put nam of daylight saving as 1t is effect i've throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other points in New Eng land. where clocks are one hour ahead of eastern standard time Messrs. Al. pert and Smith, managers of the Me tory and Bradley Theatres, respective ly, announce that on Monday they will move their clocks ahead one hour and that the shows at the theatres will be given in accordance herewith.
 Trustees of the Second Congvega- tional church have decided to move the hands of the clock on the church steeple one hour ahead, If such action is demanded by the public generally, with clocks in homes. stores and mills similarly changed. The same action will be taken by St. Mary's church in regard to the clock in that churehs steeple. it was stated at the reetery this morning.
 So. with mills. stores and the em- ployes of both, going to work. taking their meals and otherwise conducting themselves, commencing Monday, on a schedule of time one hour in ad- vance of eastern standard time. there is every reason 10 believe and state with complete confidence that every one in Putnam will set their clocks ahead one hour, when they go to bed Sunday night. and Monday mornin- will pursue their occupations and pleasures under daylight saving time as it is in states bordering Connecticut and as t is effective in Danielson aaa ether nearby places.

What this i'm rartapt event is going to consist of is complete revision and redrafting of .Ae city charter and ordinances by all lawyers of Putnam cooperating with Mayor Macdonald, Alderman-at-large Cb853elaine and City Clerk Ryan. the astefneys and city officials serving without pay.
 This move is initiated by Mayor Macdonald, who has seen since taking fFs#aath of office in January. the shortcomings of the city charter. winch was drafted to meet conditions a7 years ago-conditions that are nat urallv changed today He has seen t6at i; is impossible for the city to baQe an authoritative, active board of health because of hindering proyis- iaa# in the city charter. He has been informed by the prosecuting attorney that he will not prosecute certain con da1ns. because of provisions of the charter and ordinances.
