AMERICUS SEEKS
EASTERN TIME
A movement has been started
through the Americus and Sumte"
County Chamber of Commerce to
have Americus and Sumter county
changed from Central to Eastern time
through a modification of the new
interstate commerce zone sysstem
which will go into effect January 1.
By this new schedule Macon and
Thomasville will be changed to East
ern time, which is an hour ahead of
the present time used at Macon, while
Atlanta, Americus and Albany will
remain in Central time. All of these
cities are on the time zone boundary
line.
At a meeting of the Commissioners
of the Chamber of Commerce yester
day afternoon it was decided to co
operate with the Atlanta Chamber,
which is also waging a fight to have
Atlanta placed in the Eastern zone.
The movement so far as it has crys
talized in Atlanta and other parts of
the state, is to have the Eastern zone
boundary moved to the western bound
ary of the state, so that all of the
territory easst of the Chattahoochee
river to the point where it leaves
the state line, and west of the 85th
meridian from the river northward,
v. ill be included in the Eastern time
zone.
Secretary Perkins, of the local
chamber, sent telegrams this morn
ing to the Atlanta Chamber and to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
i.ctifying them of th? action taken
here. The Interstate commission was
also asked to make the change in the
zone boundary, provided it is practic
able
In Atlanta the movement has as
sumed formidable proportions. The
Atlanta city council will take up the
matter formally next Monday, and (he
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce will
gc on record officially this afternoon.
The plans has the backing of Mayor
Candler and mony other officials anl
business men of the capital city.
In Americus the merchants appear
to be solidly behind the proposal for
the change. Moving up of the time
one hour would put the city on the
same schedule employed under the
day-light saving plan, which was very
popular here and abondoned with
great reluctance. It is pot ted out
that the change would greatly unify
activities between the country and
the city. The farmers observe sun
time in all their farm work, as do
almost all of the negro laborers
Business men further say that with
Macon living an hour ahead of Amer
icus, great inconveniences will result
in the commercial r-.lations be: v tea
the two cities, the bulk of Americus’
business bjeing done through that
city.
Albany, which is in the same pre
dicament as Americus through the
zoning of the standard time, has v.'t
taken no action in the matter, as the
city is under an absolute public gath
ering ban because of influenza. Sent
iment is said to be favorable there,
however, for joining the movement to
be placed in the Eastern time belt,
and action, as soon as public meet
ings again are p’miti-n is
expected.
