This meeting considers such a measure would have a beneficial effect on the health of tho community generally and is in tho interests of economy, and will consequently result in increased efficiency throughout New Zealand."

Representatives of several sports bodies spoke m support, of daylight saving, and the Mayor of Christchurch (Mr "Flesher). stated that a letter had been received from Mr. T. K. Sidey M.P., expressing the opinion that while Mr. Massey was in power it was hopeless to expect even a trial of the proposal in New Zealand.
