DAYLIGHT SAVING.
[To The Editor.]
Sir, — ' jL'eoplo in glass Louses ,should not throw stones." It seems to me- that "Pater" would have done better to have thought before lie wrote. It comes well from a man, wjio is old enough to be a, "Pater" and. sufficiently well educated to know that "Pater" is Latin for father, and yet cannot see any rea-, son why the ciocks should be altered under the proposed scheme, to hear hiri .speak of men such as. Messrs Herdman, Sidey, (Fisher, -Poole, and Wright, 'M.'sP., as "cranks." One of the chief reasons, for altering the clocks is to save some thousands of pounds in printing and painting which, if the clocks, were not altered, would have to Ibe expended in altering the hours in time-tables, statutes, on offices, in records, etc. By altering the clock ibut not the time, this expense would be saved, and office hours and times for departure of trains; etc., would be nominally the same. In conclusion, W) are not the first, as suggested, a.Si Victoria, and South Africa successfully altered ' their - time.— I am, etc., "FILIUS."
