KENTUCKY TAKE NO ACTION TO PREVENT UNIFORM DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
WHEREAS, the City of Paducah, Kentucky, is immediately adjacent to
or in close proximity with the states of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas
and Tennessee of which all will observe the uniform or daylight saving
time during the year 1970, and
WHEREAS, many industries in Western Kentucky and in the Paducah area
are affiliated with organizations existing in or doing business in the
eastern time zone, and
WHEREAS, should Kentucky not remain on uniform time, the businesses
requiring coordination and contact with businesses in the eastern time
zone will have a two hour difference reducing the simultaneous work time
by an additional two hours per day, which loss of time would seriously
impair the operation of such businesses,

CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY:
SECTION 1. That this Board endorses and recommends uniform or
daylight saving time for the entire state of Kentucky, and specifically

the economic health and unimpaired commerce of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor be, and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to each and every member
of the 1970 General Assembly, including all Senators and Representatives
and to all elected executive officials, including but not limited to,
the Governor of the Commoneralth of Kentucky.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect
from and after its adoption.
