SUMMER TIME

SYSTEM TO BE MADE PERMANENT BILL REAPPEARS THE SUN'S Parlic.mentarif Reporter PARLIAMENT BLDG.. Wed. Summer time will probably be reintroduced on Sunday week, October 13. The Bill providing for the permanent enactment of the system reappeared in the House today. “It is similar to the Act passed last year,” said the Minister of Justice, the Hon. T. M. Wilford. “The only different provision is that it is now proposed to make the advancing of the clock by half an hour during Summer time perpetual until the House repeals it. There is a right to consider it at any time. It is proposed that the clocks should be advanced on Sunday. October 13. I would like the second reading tonight.” Mr. H. M. Campbell (Hawke's Bay) suggested that the half-hour advancement should be made to apply throughout the year. The Minister (looking at the clock almost marking the hour of adjournment): We can consider that in committee. Put it off until another day, shall we? Mr. Campbell sat down, but Mr. A. M. Samuel (Thames) rose. The Speaker had only time to call Mr. Samuel’s name before interrupting him owing to the arrival of the time for the adjournment. Mr. Wilford: That is the finish; we will drop it until another day.
