Daylight Saving
Dead Issue Here
Daylight saving has fallen
flat in Elizabeth City. In ac
cordance with instructions giv
en him at a meeting held here
some two weeks ago, when the
merchants present expressed
themselves as opposed to the
scheme, and the manufacturers
appeared to favor It, Secretary
Job, of the Chamber of Com
merce, has approached numer
ous representative manufac
turers with a view to having
them sign a document express
ing their approval of daylight
saving, and their willingness to
accept an agreement whereby
all would begin work an hour
earlier each day, and thus com
plete the day's work also an
hou;- ahead of the present
schedule. One manufacturer,
according to Secretary Job,
signed the paper uncondition
ally, and one put his firm's
name on it with the proviso
that the other manufacturers
of the city also become signa
tory to it. None of the others
who were approached would
agree to sign on any terms, evi
dently having had a change of
mind since the scheme was or
iginally suggested.
