AN ABSURD SITUATION
JUNIORS RECEI VE MORE PAY THAN SENIORS. WELLINGTON. June 29. Following the' City Councils rfcejson to make no grade increas's in the salai .oS of its staff to those receiving £2OB a year and over, ihe position has arisen in several cases that juniors receiving less than £2UB a year and who 'received a grade-inciease are now .getting more than th-'ir seniors who were refused an increase. This was mentioned by the Mayor, Air Hislop, at the end of a special meeting of the council this evening. Such an effect, he thought, had not been anticipated by those who had voted against the recommendation that grade increases should be granted and a 10 per cent, cut then made on all salaries. The situation was an absurd one. In addition, he thought the council had previously led the staff to believe that bicreases would be granted, and many officers had made arrangements on that basis. After it was suggested that the Mayor should draft a clause dpaPng with the question for consideration at next meeting of the council, the Mayor said he would do that, but reiterated the opinion that grade increases should be given first and the cut made afterwa rd.
