ANTI-DAYLIGHT BILL
Continued from First fags
who said that communications ad-
dressed to them by constituents indi-
cated a preponderance of sentiment
for a law that would prevent varying
time schedule in diderent parts of the
state. ‘
This bill which passed the House
last week and» is now concurred in by
the Senate. is as follows:
“Section 1.—Section 6720 of the
General Statutes is amended to read
as follows: The Standard or time for
the 75th Martian west of Greenwich
shall bc'the standard for this state.
and no department of the state gov-
ernment and no municipality or sub-
division of the state. shall employ any
other time or adopt any ordinance.
by-law or order providing for the use
of any other than the standard time.
”Section 2.——Thls act shall lake ef-
fect from its passage." . '
The senators voting for the till
were: Goodwin. Rosenfleld. Bowers.
Eno. McCahey. Treat. Clark. Graham.
Bailey. Banks. Candee. MacDonald. of
Putnam: Blake. Brooks. lludd.
{Elmer-y, Butler. Potter and Hall. Total
9.
Those who voted against the bill
and so were in favor of daylight sev-
ing time were: Seymour; Hall. of
New Britain: Bakcwell. )o‘urcolo. San-
ford, Golden. Pickett. Drew. Costello.
Brown. Garllcl‘t. ‘Delaney. Challenger
and Keneaiy. Total 14.
Absent—~MacDonsld. of New Haven
and Trumbull.
The Senate refused to reconsider
its action. This completed the legis-
lative process and-the bill will now
go to Governor Lake.
The tlme bill brought out the first
general debate in the upper branch.
Tuesday. the opponents of the bill
were sure they would defeat it and
force a local option substitute to mve
deyliglfi. time for the cities. But when
the vote was taken. alter the debate.
several oi the city senators lined “9
against daylight saving time to the
consternation of those who wanted
local option. When the bill was coll-
ed up at noon. Senator Treat moved
its passage. He said the object was
to do away with two standards of time
in the state and so avoid ooni‘ustion.
Senator Butler. of Middletown. move
(to recommit the bill. Senator Drew
~objected to the bill going back to- the
agriculture committee. believing it
should rightly go to the Judiciary
committee.
- The motion to reeommit was lost.
Senator Drew moved that the ques-
tion before the body be divided, t3
véte on the committee's report an
then on the bill itself. The motion
was carried and the committee‘s re-
port was accepted.
. Then.followed fully a score of
speeches for and against the bill. dur-
ing which several times there was
handclapplng andspplause from the
galleries and the House members who
were jammed in the space outside the
rails~behind the Senators' desks. House
members had deserted their chamber
and it appeared as it the occupants of
offices in the building had all entered
the chamber to hear the debate. it
was nearly 1:80 p. in. when a vote
was taken by roll call and-the bill d”
clared adopted. 9 .
The proposed memorial to Connec-
ticut soldiers in the world war as out-
lined by Senator Goodwin. which'is to
have‘ stone markers set up at regular
intervals on state highways. got a,fa-,
vorable report from the roads. bridges
