<br />COMMUNICATION:

<br />Mr. H. L. Chambers
<br />Sherland Building
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Dear Sir:
<br />February 12th, 1936
<br />I have your letter of the 10th inst., relative to Eastern Standard Time.
<br />Some ye-ers ago - Toledo Pdopted Eastern Standard-Time; and -it Is-the breaking point-,for rail -
<br />roads; that Is all East and South Roads use Eastern--Standard Time, Roads running West, Central
<br />Standard. The public time cards, however, show Eastern time for all arrivals and departures.
<br />We find the additional daylight we-get through the summer very beneficial, and I would
<br />think the same would hold good in South Bend. People readily conformed to the change, and as I
<br />remember it there was little or no complaint at the time it was adopted in Toledo.
<br />Yours very truly,
<br />A. B. Newell
