MEN WITH DOUBLE JOBS.

j A short time a fro I noticed ' | in your paper with reference to men in M jobs working on the totalizator during t* :| racing season. I quite a«reed with ;S respondents, for while out at the || races and I'akuranga Hunt meeting I notice" | quite a number of men whom J know to h* ve j§ pood positions working 011 the totalisatOT- | Some of them were ptiiilic >ervants aDd sdio" 1 teachers. I understand that one of the rest"*' | tions in the Public Service Act is that no ntro** of the Departments shall work in a privet* capacity. Considering the amount of no*®" | plovment now in Auckland, should not th®* | men stand baek and let those unemployed *®° are able to carry o«:t the work on the totalis*" tor quite as well as these public servants »o the work, for this would help to keep the **»*• | from the door. Now that the racing season I is starting in Auckland, I think something | should be done to keep these men, who *** >| in receipt of regular salaries from £25® | £350 a year, from earning this extra mo*? te and give the other fellow a chance. Otherwise g I think the Public Service Commissioner g be acquainted with the position. - (ikL&M LIVE AND LET LIVE.
