NO REFERENDUM
m SIDEY OH SUMMER TIME HAS JUSTIFIED ITSELF {Fm Uvram Pbess Assocutioit.J CHRISTCHURCH. February 19. The proposal that a plebiscite on summer time be taken at the same time as the General Election this year was referred to Mr Sidey to-day. Mr Sidey (/untended that the prophecies of disastrous results from summer time had been falsified, and that the Act had worked remarkably smoothly under the circumstances. Supporters of the Act were now entitled to ask that it should be placed on the Statute Book without the special provision in the Act of last year necessitating its re-ena'ctment after a year of trial. It would then be in the same position as the other statutes, and could be repealed if necessary. Mr Sidey indicated that he would not yield to the demand for a referendum.
