SUMMER TIME.
APPRECIATION FUND. "SIDEY MEDAL" PROPOSED. WILL LAW BE RE-ENACTED? (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this clay. At a meeting of the Summer Time Appreciation Committee it was decided to hand over the funds, which will amount to not less than £500, to the New Zealand Institute. The fund is made up mostly of shillings, donated by those who desired to express their appreciation of the passing of the Summer Time Act. It is proposed to use the money to provide a medal, to be known as "T. K. Sidey Summer Time Medal," to be presented at intervals of some years, together with a monetary prize, for the best contribution to our knowledge of light in relation to human welfare. With regard to the re-enactment of the summer time legislation, it was decided to leave the whole matter in Mr. Sidey's hands, to act in any way he considers most desirable, having regard to the state of the new House on the question.
