WASTED LABOUR
POST OFFICE OBJECTION POSTING CITATIONS Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. An enormous amount of unnecessary work is caused to officers of the Post and Telegraph Department by the posting of award citations to persons who are dead or out of business. The Post Office has now protested against this extra work, and the objection was ventilated by Mr. Justice Frazer in the Arbitration Court this morning. He read a letter from the postmaster at Auckland stating; ‘On April 29, and covering a period of several days prior to this, 2,270 large registered rolls were handed in by the clerk of awards in connection with the Auckland arbitration district. So far 757 of such articles have been returned as unclaimed for reasons such as “defunct,” “gone, no address.” “deceased,” etc., a percentage of over one-third of the whole. Upon looking into the matter, I find that many of the firms were actually known to have been out of bLisiness for a number of years.”
