SUPERANNUATED CIVIL SERVANTS.
AN OLD GRIEVANCE. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Wellington, May 10. Complaint is being made that superannuated teachers and other retired civil servants who re-enter the Government service in order to All war vacancies and so assist depleted Departments are penalised by the reduction of their pensions, which they consider have been earned and paid for. This is not a new grievance, though it is being emphasised at the present time. The Public Service Superanuation Act provides that if a retired civil servant returns to duty while in receipt of a retiring allowance or receives payment for services rendered by him to the Government while in receipt of a retiring allowance, then no more of such retiring allowance shall be paid than is equivalent, when added to the remuneration so received in any one year, to his annual salary at the date of his retirement. If a retired civil servant takes private employment his pension is continued without change. But if he re-enters the publie service temporarily his pension is apt to suffer.
