8 CITY COUNCIL'S ation last night in recommending daylight saving time has saved Indianapolis from

a situation of intolerable

confusion.

‘The action violates no law, and it certainly carries . out the wishes of ‘the vast majority of Indianapolis

people. .

As it stands now Indianapolis will move the clocks

forward one hour on Apr, This will give more

A. than 100,000 Indianapolis

workers and their families an extra hour of daylight

after their day's work is

done during the entire sum-

mer for Sardening or other outdoor recreation.

w hs .

SUCCESSFUL operation of voluntary daylight saving will require the co-operation of every business

and industry in the city. -

a8 they have dane in, past years, and individuals gen-

erally will follow their lead. “The, change will leave. Indianapolis in exactly the same relation to other major cities as at present—on ‘the same time as Chicago, one hour behind New York and other big cities on the eastern seaboard, and on

‘the same time as most other Indiana cities. : In our opinion city councilmen have acted wisely

and courageously to carfy out the wishes of the people
