light Time for Indianapolis LANAPOLIS can, and we believe should, adopt daylight ving timehis summer in spite of the attempt of a rural y to dictate otherwise. _ There can be no question that an overwhelming majorof the people of this city prefer daylight saving time, N poll, every survey, every known expression of public sentiment clearly indicates that they do. + It would be astonishing if they did not. Daylight saving time means an extra hour of living on every summer day for hundreds of thousands of city workers. There is no

and recreation by the intolerant will of a minority who live elsewhere and who are affected less than anyone gslse by the change. . . .

THE STATUTE by which this minority undertook to - the majority obey their wishes was jammed through o the state legislature by methods which its own provisions forbid, and is probably itself legal. : Indianapolis, however, ean adopt daylight saving time h year as in past years, without violating any of the terms if, this statute, whether or not they are valid. Those provi - sions, as enacted, only forbid the government of any city to order the clocks moved ahead, There is in. it no restriction "on the mayor, or the council, or both, from recommending re private businesses and citizens co-operate hy adopting daylight saving schedule, and nothing prevents, or could prevent, businesses and individuals trom doing so. ; Nita Sees "EARLY To WORK movements, by which the time remained the same and business places opened and closed an hour earlier would prove, we believe, ineffective, and would only lead to confusion.

The London gathering will try to find the answers.
