TOO OLD AT SIXTY?
RETIREMENT OF CIVIL SERVANTS FLAW IN PROCEDURE From Our Reside ,t Reporter WELLINGTON. Today. Are public servants too old at 60? Commenting on this issue, raised in tlie report of tlie* Public Service Commissioner. Mr. F. W. Millar. General Secretary of the New Zealand Public Service Association, says no. The policy of the association, state* Mr. Millar, has won the recognition of the commissioner. It is that 6(‘ should be the minimum retiring ago for officers with 4»» years’ service. When officers have 40 years' service they may retire at from 60 to 65. but everyone should retire 65 with 4<* years’ service or without it. Thus the association considers that officers are “too old at 65.” The flaw in this procedure is that in the Railways Department and tb* Post and Telegraph Department, which are administered by their own heads, men are being retired after 40 years' service, even when they are not 60 years of age. W ith this mattet the Public Service Association cannot interfere, as the Railwaymen and P. and T. officers have their own associations.
