CITY WOULD ENTER "DAYLIGHT PLAN" IF RAILROADS DO

This city may become part of a great national movement for more daylight, by the general adoption of the plan of setting all clocks forward one hour closer to sunrise. ' Secretary Haas of the Commercial club, 'said today, although he has not received a letter from organizers of the national daylight saving convention, he favors the plan should it be national, and be believes the club should participate in the movement Seyeral attempts have been made in recent years to adopt the plan In Richmond, but the suggestion was not taken seriously because' railroads would not enter into the plan. The national convention to be held in New York, January 30, and 31, 1917, will include railroad officials as well -as governors, mayors, congressmen, bankers, business men and commercial organization representatives. It is estimated that $40,000,000 will be saved annually by the extra hour of daylight from May to September 30. It would not be necessary to change any schedules. The difference would be in the evening, when it would be light until 9 o'clock instead of 8 o'clock.
