July, September and December would each have thirty-five days. New Year Day is . set apart, thus bringing the total of :days up to the requisite num- ber of 365, while for leap year a spe-. Kral dais set apart as Leap Day, which is to be intercalated between the last day of June and the first day of Julyas reconstituted by the bill.
