LOCAL SUMMER TIME
WHANGAREI AGAINST PROPOSAL IRRITATING CONFUSION LIKELY (From Our own Correspondent) WHANGAREI, To-day. Irritating confusion and intolerable dislocation were forecast at the Whangarei Borough Council last evening if local Summer Time were adopted. A motion to support the proposal was rejected by a solid vote, the mover and seconder bowing to the opposition aroused. As a national measure some councillors admitted that Summer Time was an agreeable experiment, but an open option for local authorities to deal with an essentially national matter was characterised as dangerous and reactionary. Mrs. Councillor Foote said the women found it a hardship, and did not want it. If after last year’s experience New Zealand went in for Summer Time there were some women who would feel they wanted to look for another country to live in.
