Saturday, September 27.
This decision was taken unanimous-
ly by the Town Council at a special
meeting in the Council Chamber
Monday evening. A week previously,
Council had split 4-4 on the issue.
Concensus of opinion of the Meta -
hers was that Clinton -could not very
well remain on standard time if all
the other municipalities in the dist-
rict were on daylight saving time. It
was pointed 'out that Goderich, Wing -
ham, 'Sea/forth, Mirbehell, Stratford,
land London, were going on "fast"
A petition in favour of daylight
saving was received from 64 employe
ees of Clinton Knitting Co. and over
80 of Richmond Hosiery.
Ald. Agnew said he still believed
in standard time, but if Clinton did
not accept it, it would lead to a lot
of eonfusions ,Reeve Falconer said he
had not changed his opinion any, but
apparently every other 'neuniemality
was going on daylight saving, so
there was nothing else to do.
