CIVIL SERVICE REDUCTIONS.
The Wellington correspondent of the “ Press ” telegraphs as follows : Messrs Batkin and Seed’s report on the Civil Service is said to be exceedingly valuable, and full of judicious sug_ gestions, some of which are to be acted upon at once. Others are of so sweeping a nature that they will need much careful consideration, as to the advisableness of carrying them out in their entirety. I believe, in fact, that some of the proposals will be altogether too unpopular to be likely to be put into force. Apart from these however, they show the practicableness of saving some eleven or twelve thousand per annum in salaries alone. The chief reductions suggested are in the justice Department. The above of course applies only to the North Island. Messrs Batkin and Seed left by the Hawea this afternoon for Picton and Nelson, as the commencement of their South Island tour. They will begin with Marlborough and Nelson, following with Westland, and then with Canterbury, Otago, and Southland in the order named.
