Maine Grangers Back Daylight Time for State Standard Time Favored
At a hearing in Augusta on February 11 Maine granges urged a single standard time for the state and opposed local daylight time. Rep Harriman of Readfield led a bill to adopt daylight saving in towns choosing it locally while standard time remains the legal time. The debate echoed long running arguments over two time systems, with some lawmakers preferring local choice but most backing standard time statewide. Meanwhile President Coolidge trimmed inauguration plans to simple ceremony, sparking criticism from those who hoped for a larger, money-boosting event in Washington.
