TO ADVERTISERS.

The Urban Council yesterday passed two resolutions which pressed the opinion that a measure for daylight saving is advisable in Hongkong, and that the best basis for such a measure will be the ad- vancement, of the present Hongkong Time by 30 minutes Standard throughout the year,

There was only one dissentient at full meeting of members-Mr. A. that the benefits which might neerue from the measure would not weigh the hardship which it would inflet on three classes of people, children who have to rise early to go to school, factory hands and others who

alrendy have to reach their work by 7 a.m. or earlier, and those who already prefer to rise early and take their exercise before going to work.
