 Daylight saving for the city at large will be determined by the city council at it's meeting on Tuesday night. Already the schools of the municipality have decided to begin the hour ahead plan on April 26.

 The action of the schools in adopting the daylight saving plan came at the meeting of the board of education on fast Wednesday night, when it was recided by the commis- sioners that the plan was the best for the schools, following requests from various members of the school faculties.
 No Alarm Felt.
 No great alarm is felt by the health authorities over the outbreak of meningitis in the East Bristol school, as it is believed that the mal- ady will confine itself to the one case of Josephine Casimeri, who died on Thursday. Following the discovery of the disease, the school room was closed down and all of the furniture was treated to bath with disinfec- tant and the fumigation of the school took place. A careful watch is being kept on all of the pupils in the room, in which the dead girl studied so that any suspicious circumstances will be immediately taken care of. In addition cultures have been taken from the members of the Casimeri family 10 determine any spread there.
 Recently a child was treated at the Bristol hospital for meningitis and was declared a few days ago 10 be well on the road to recovery.
