The advance was made on Sunday, October 14. New Zealand’s trial of summertime with a full hour advance was made in the 1927-28 session, but Mr T. K. Sidey’s Bill to continue the measure was defeated in the House of Representatives by 33 votes to 28Jast July. The sequel was a movement for local option and a compromise for a universal half-hour was effected by the Government’s adoption of the recommendation of the Select Committee on, the Local Summertime Bill. The alterations to the-official clocks are made at 2 a.nu The Act expires on September 30 next.
