+# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
+# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
+# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885 Sep 18,
+# but Howse (p 126) writes that Detroit kept
+#
+#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
+#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
+#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
+#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
+#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
+#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
+#	by city vote.
+#
+# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
+#
+# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.
