The Court House Clock Order

ISSUED BY THE BUILDING COMMITTEE OF SUPERVISORS

Change in Time to be Made at Midnight--The Vote of the Supervisors Was Unanimous

The Building committee has issued orders, as the Argus said they would, that the court house clock be set on standard time with the opening of the new year.

If everybody will set their watches and clocks by the court house clock today, there will not be the least bit of friction or trouble any place, and no one will know that a change of time has been made.

If it should develop that the outdoor workers have not enough daylight left for work, the only objection to the change of time, let work in such trades begin at 6:30 or better yet at 6 o'clock standard time.

Here is the order which changed the court house clock:

M. Davenport:

Sir--In compliance with a resolution of the Board of Supervisors on Oct. 21, 1901, which reads as follows:

"By Mr. Prettyman: That the custodian of the Court House Clock be directed to set and keep the clock on Central Standard time, just as soon as the University Library clock is set on that time and the D., Y., A. A. & J. R. R. adopt standard time." Yeas and nays called for. Yeas 23, nays 0.

The D., Y. A. A. & J. railroad has adopted standard time and the regents of the University have ordered the library clock to be set on standard time at midnight, Dec. 31, 1902.

Dated at Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 30, 1902.
