SUPERANNUATION.
FOR HARBOUR BOARD MEN. At the, meeting of the Wellington Harbour Board last night the chairman (Mr. R. Fletcher) moved the resolution dealing with superannuation for employees of the board. (This resolution was published in The Dominion a few days ago.) Mr. P. C. Freeth seconded the motion. Mr. M. Cohen said, in his opinion, the scheme was based on an entirely wrong principle. The only scheme worthy of consideration would be a national scheme.. He felt that even if he were in a minority of one he must record his protest.
Mr. J. Trevor said Mr. Cohen was not tho only one who took a pessimistic view of this scheme. He would ask to have -Ins vote recorded against the motion.Mr. MacFarlane: What is it to cost the board ?
The chairman: The contribution of the board will be from .£3OOO to .£4OOO, if all the employees join. Tlie motion, on being put to the board, was carried by nine votes to five. The following was" the voting:— Ayes: Messrs. Cobbe, Fitzgerald, Fletcher, Freeth. Hildreth, Hindmarsh, Jones, M'Ewen, and Renner. Noes: Messrs. Cohen, Daniell, Harkness, MacFarlane, and Trevor.
