Some Confusion

By The Canadian Press

Recent change of Dominion Day by the Federal Government, from Monday, July 5. back to Thursday. July l. has resulted in some con- fusion in several municipalities. some of which already have made preparations for the celebration of the holiday after the original an- nouncement Dcrnlnlon Day would be held on the first Monday of the month.

The reaction in Toronto to the government announcement that the holiday WOLlld be held July 1 was a notice of motion filed by Alderman Gordon Milien that Monday. July 5.18. PFQQIPWQQ a. civi ._ , holiday for-observance of Dominion ‘Dav. But mayor Med J. Conboy said: “If Ottawa has decided to observe July 1 as Dominion Day instead oi the following Monday, I think the city cf Toronto will take their lead in the matter. There should be as much uniformity in these matters as possible."

In Montreal. the situation at pre- sent allows for two holidays. The citv decided to celebrate July 1. but unless the provincial’ government changes its plans. the holldav also will be celebrated July 5.

In Ottawa. the cily fell in line w‘th the Federal change, Munici- polities are permitted in set any daic aside as a local holiday but th’s would have no bearinz on such nieces as government offices.

In Manitoba, the confusion would have resulted if the holiday had been arranged for July 5. for prov- incial secretary McDiarmid said the province had not entered into nny agreement to observe the Monday as Do-minioii Day. Thus, July 1, would have been observed as a holiday unless the date had been chanced by order-in-councii. As a rlsult. Manitoba is right in line w.ii1 the new government decision.
