LITTLE
INTEREST
IS
SHOWN
IN
DAYLIGHT
SAVING
HERE
"Nobody
appears
to
be
much
interested
and
I
do
not
think
any
change
will
be
made,"
commented
Mayor
H.
M.
Daggett
this
morning
on
the
subject
of
daylight
saving.
The
general
feeling
appears
to
be
that
summer
evenings
in
Prince
Rupert
are
quite
long
enough
on
standard
time
without
having
to
get
up
an
hour
earlier
in
the
morn
-
ing
in
order
to
make
them
longer.
As
long
as
transportation
services
remain
on
standard
time,
the
general
consensus
appears
to
be
in
Prince
Rupert
that
there
would
not
be
sufficient
benefit
gained
from
daylight
saving
to
warrant
the
confusion
that
would

Daylight

doesn't

here
because

have

daylight
in
