THE CORRECT TIME
Great controversy has been taking place in Auckland lately about the time told by different clocks within short distances, and here is a story from overseas which falls into line: "Clockmakers at Essen in Germany arc looking forward to good business next month. The town is to be the scene of a Punctuality Fete, when a severe control will be taken of public clocks to ensure their accordance with the correct time. In connection with the fete there is to be a clockmakcr’s exhibition. If the movement spreads to London there should be some hope for the derelict clock in Pall Mall, now in its fourth year of showing two faces, both of them wrong.”
