SUMMER TIME.

“I have to report that in accordance with the Summer Time Act, the period of summer time will end «ut 2 a.m., New Zealand standard time, on the morning of Sunday, March 4,” states Dr. G. E. Adams, Government astronomer and siesniologist to-day. “This time is equivalent to .3 a.m. summer time. It will then be necessary for all •locks to be put back an hour. “In the caseof striking clocks, great care will be necessary to see that the striking mechanism is not put out of order. The simplest and safest method for putting the clock back one hour is to move it forward eleven hours, care beng taken to see that the clock strikes the full chimes and hours as it is moved forward. In the ease of public clocks it would be desirable to muffle the sound of the striking while this is being done. “I have to recommend that this information be placed before the controlling authorities of all public clocks in New Zealand.”

ENDS ON SUNDAY
