For several years past the town couneil has complied witb petitiens asking for Daylight Saving Tinne during summer months. Considerable exception and opposi- tion bas been taken te this "fast time". Týhis objection took tangible form when a IlaSgely signed peti- tion was presented te council this fali asking that a vote be taken on the question at the -next muni- cipal elections. We believe the council is willing te give Bowmanville which ever turne the majonity of citizens favor. Se t'hat is is up te electors te turu eut on Monday and express their wishes in order that the council may gev- ern thereselves accordingly . Personay we are opposed te day- ligilt saving unless iV la generally adopted througlbout the province. Many local menchants, professienal men, mothben who 'have chidren at- tending sehool and rural resîdents who shop in Bownnanville do net fan- or chang-ing the time as it is up»ets general routine. *We can appreciate the attitude of local factonries on t1ii question whe have direct communication witb city industries. However, let -the citi- zens express their views and we1 should ail be demooratic enough tei ibid. by the wlll cf the majority.1 UT 1882 COST 0F NEW ADDITION TO BOWMAI'VILLE MERCHANTS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXPRESS APPRECIATION We widh te caîl the. attention of For nfomaton f rtepyentheThe Statesman readers te the adver- Public School Board lias asked un toltis6ments of local Merchants appear- liublisoh cost of new addition toling in this issue.
