In 1920 fifteen districts adopted the Saturday half-holiday; in 1919, nine; in 1918, four; in 1917, six; in 1916, one; in 1915, four; and fifteen had adopted it prior to 1915. Of the four chief cities, Auckland and Christchurch had adopted the Saturday half-holiday before 1915; and Wellington and Dunedin carried it in 1915. The total number which lias adopted Saturday as the weekly half-holiday is now 85. Fifteen have adopted it and gone hack to the Wednesday, or another half-holiday.
