   The proposed date of the switch, 1926-03-06, would be before the 
publication
   of the law, which seems to be unlikely. Anyway, the Almanaque 2018 
explicitly
   says that the switch was on 1926-04-01, the date specified by the law 
of 1923,
   and so does the Resolución of 1926-03-11 published in
       [http://www.impo.com.uy/diariooficial/1926/03/18/2].
   I propose that tzdb follow these sources, rather than make an estimate.
