AGED CIVIL SERVANTS.
COMPULSORY RETIREMENT. In the House of Representatives recently, Mr. G. Laurenson, M.P. for Lyttelton, asked the Primo Minister whether his attention had been drawn to cases of undoubted hardship in consequence of tho rule which requires all Public Servants to retire at sixty-five years of age; and whether 110 exception can be made to this rule in special cases. The Hon. W. F. Massey (Prime Minister) replied yesterday: In order to avoid hardship as much as possible 'tho Public Service Commissioner recommended, and tho Government agreed, that a minimum pension as follows: single men and widowers, £1 per week; married men with under ten years' scrvice, £1 ss. per week; married men with over ten years' servico, £1 10s. per week, was to be paid to messengers and others, holding similar positions. It would bo difficult to defins all tho cases which should bo treated as special, as no doubt most officers who are retired at sixty-five years of ago consider their cases to be special ones.
