It would be convient and useful to have the chimes ring the actual hour. I found my self counting them, as with a clock, when I realized they don't keep time. As we already have the chimes, I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to synchronize this idea, but it would add some charm to the city.
If I've missed a previous post about this idea, please accept my apologies. I did a search, and didn't find the subject posted.
