Abstract
IT is proposed to fix a standard time for use upon all Indian railways and telegraphs, which shall be exactly 51/2 hours in advance of Greenwich time, and to fix for Burma a standard 61/2 hours in advance of Greenwich. The Government of India has intimated that it is in favour of the adoption of the new standard for general as well as for Railway and telegraphic purposes, and is prepared to cooperate in any movement with this end in view; but as the matter is one upon which the local communities should be consulted, the opinions of the Chambers of Commerce upon the proposals are being sought by the Government.
