I~t is my belief that the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth
<br />must either adopt or reject D~ylight Saving Time by con-
<br />certed action, and that any other course would lead to un-
<br />acceptable confusion.
<br /> Yesterday a poll was taken to-~termine the sentiments
<br />of ~the employees of the Shipyard,in this matter. The results
<br />were as follows:
<br />
<br />In favor
<br />Against
<br />
<br />of Daylight Saving Time - 5~415 -
<br />
<br />Portsmouth,
<br />
<br />As you know, a considerable number of ou~ employees live in
<br />and I am sure that this will be~of interest to the Council in deciding this issue.
<br /> With kind regards and best wishes, I am,
<br />
<br />Sincerely yours,
<br />
<br /> David n. Cla~k,
<br />Hear Admiral, U.S.N.,
<br />
<br />'fThe Master Mechanics, Foreman and Head Draftsman Associationo f the
<br />.Norffelk Naval Shipyard hereby endorse the Daylight Saving Pla~ for
<br />the Ci~yo f Portsmouth.
<br />
