TARANAKI PETITION
Determination of HalfHoliday By -Telegraph—Pretss Association. New Plymouth, September 15. A more to institute a Saturday halfholiday in all towns in Taranaki was made to-night when a petition was sent to Parliament asking for official determination of the half-day. Some towns, including Hawera, Patea, Opunake and Manaia, hare already made the change to Saturday. The problem may be settled by Order-in-Council If the Government is satisfied the great majority of people desire the change. New Plymouth has had a Saturday holiday for many years and the varying days on which the holiday has been observed throughout the district has been confusing to business and sport.
