DAYLIGHT SAVING.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —That there is any probability of the Local Summertime Bill being relegated to the scrapheap will be good news to an overwhelming number of people of the Dominion. It Is said that the members of the Select Committee to which it was referred are convinced that the difficulties of local summertime are so pronounced that it would be impossible to overcome them. The wonder to me is that the members of the House did not realise that as soon as the Bill was brought down, instead of giving the measure its first and second reading and going to the expense and bother of hearing evidence on matters which should have been as plain as a pikestaff to anybody outside of a madhouse. The only possible way to make summertime a success is to make it general, and to ascertain if the people favour the scheme a referendum should be taken. It should not be foisted upon an unwilling people.—l am, etc., KIPAX.
