NEW ZEALAND TIME CORRECTION BILL

Sr,-It was rather shocking to read 1 I n ",, y s Dt »"N'ON s Lobby Gossip Unit the Government Bill to correct New Zealand time may !» dropped on account of opposition or want of support in t.WHouse. Surely the subject wants ventilating! Here is an important menwire, involving a lessening of the ccst oi living, in danger for want of support. Uost year (bo advancement of the clock in France by one hour in summer o n l v was calculated to be worth ,£4,000,000 U the country. Half nu hour throughout the year in New Zealand will in lime ue -about equivalent to the summer time-in ]' ranee. If France saved .£4,000.000 on (V population of 40,000,000, that is .£1,000,(100 per population of 10,000,000; so that on tho same basis New Zealand should save well over .£IOO,OOO per ypar as the result of tho present Government measure! It is.perhaps too much to hone that the Government will introduce a Summer Time Saving Bill on the lines "of Jiritain and so many otlier European Stales; but one may express the hops that there will be no weakening on the Government Half-hour Bill which is to be introduced shortly. Let us remember that scientifically there is everything to be said in its favour, that tbe scientists of New Zealand have been persistently agitating for it for the last six years.—l .am. etc!
