A Wellington correspondent states— A careful survey, of the prospects of the Summer Time Bill in the Legislative Council discloses the fact • that daylight saving, after several reverses in thu- Chamber, has a chance of scraping through. Some Councillors formerly in opposition are now impressed by the fact that the House of Representatives gave the Bill a fairly large majority, and that it only provides for one trial of four months, after which the experiment will automatically cease, unless further legislation is passed. The Select Committee which took evidence on the measure will report to the Legislative Council during the coming week, and the second reading discussion is likely to take place on Wednesday. The Hon. John Barr (Christchurch) is in charge of the Bill.
