“NO MAN IS INDISPENSABLE.”
THE Wellington City Council ha.s decided, in effect, that not one of its officers is indispensable; in other words, that every eligible man in the employment of the municipality would, at this time, be more valuable as a soldier than as a council officer. In view of the calling up of the Second Division, the position was discussed by the council, in committee, at considerable length on Thursday, and the following motion was adopted That the City Council, while regretting that a considerable number of its most valuable officers have been called up in the ballot, under the Military Service Act, feels that it would be failing in its duty to the Dominion and tho Empire in the present time of crisis if it promoted any appeal for their exemption.”
