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.
