NOT A LIFE JOB
DISMISSED CIVIL SERVANT CLAIM FOR REDRESS (THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. After being many years on the staff of the Lands Transfer Office, at Auckland, George Horace Hawk, of Tawa Road, Onehunga, was, at the age of 60, dismissed in accordance with the Government’s retrenchment scheme after the war. Mr. Hawk now claims from the Government redress for the dismissal, and also for the loss he sustained through not being able to participate in the benefits of the superannuation fund. His dismissal, he claims in a petition to the House of Representatives, was due not to disobedience or inefficiency, but because the department found it cheaper to have the work done by typistes. He had received the promise of the late Sir Arthur Guiness that so long as his work was satisfactory and he was not guilty of disobedience, his job would be for life..
