“TRYING IT ON”
NEW GOVERNMENT RECEIVES MANY APPEALS DEPARTMENTS HARASSED (Special to THE SUN) WELLINGTON, To-day. Not least of the effects of the change of Government has been its addition to the troubles of departmental heads. From all over the country Government departments are receiving letters raising grievances which they imagined had been settled, for all time. The change of Alinistry has inspired many persons with unsubstantial claims to “give it a go" in the hope of obtaining something from a benevolent Government. Chief among the sufferers is the Pensions Department. Numerous applications, previously refused, have been renewed during the last few weeks. As might be expected, the new members are being asked To sponsor a good number of claims. Some’ of the applications are not without their amusing side. One department has received a letter from its Minister enclosing an application from “An Old Liberal," who recently abandoned his attempt to convince the Minister’s predecessor that he was “An Old Reformer.”
