MORE CIVIL SERVICE REDUCTIONS.
The following was telegraphed on Saturday by the Wellington correspondent of the “ Lyttelton Times”: — I hear on good authority that, on the House meeting, Ministers will submit another scheme of retrenchment ia the Civil Service. The ten per cent reduction of last year will be remitted off the salaries of all retained in the_ service, but there will be numerous dismissals and special reductions in certain individual cases. So far as I can learn, the police force is the only branch to which a general rule will he applied; all under the rank of sub-inspectors will, it is said, be reduced one shilling per day. . In cases ot first-class sergeants this is about equivilent to the ten per cent reduction, but beneath the grade, considerably more, pressing most hardly on the worst paid. It is also rumoured that Post and Telegraph department officials will be least affected by the proposed changes.
