HALF-HOLIDAY ISSUE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
MARTON, This Day.
Marton retailers met again last evening to thrash out the half-holiday issue. It is understood a decision was made to revert to Wednesday next week with a' Saturday late night. A resolution was also passed favouring a universal Saturday half-day, and the member for Rangitikei, Mr. G. H. O. Wilson, is to be asked to make representations in this direction.
For the past fortnight the town has been, hopelessly divided on the halfholiday issue, some closing on Wednesday in face of the majority wish. Last night's meeting was the third to discuss the question, and feelings have been •running- high.
