HALF HOLIDAY QUESTION
REJECTION OF A REMIT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Nelson, Last Night. A remit moved at th© Municipal Conference to-day, urging th© Government to amend the Shops’ and Office©’ Act so as to make Saturday the universal statutory half-holiday throughout the Dominion, was thrown out. Th© Mayor js>i Wanganui said many shopkeepers would prefer a Saturday half-holiday if they’ were sure there would be uniformity. Opposition was raised on the grounds that a system that suited th© larger centres did not necessarily suit the small country towns. On© delegate supported the remit and advocated the closing of all shops, including hotel bars (murmurs).
