QUESTION 01-' MILITARY SERVICE APPEAL.
By Telegraph— Press Association. Wellington, May 17. Recently the City Council decided that, while regretting that so many of it* stall' were being called up in the ballot, no appeals would be lodged on behalf of its employees. Last night, after an animated discussion, the council decided by a narrow majority to rescind the previous resolution, and passed the following:—"That, while the council affirms the principle that every man possible must be spared for service who mav be drawn in the ballot, it feels that full discretionary power must be left with the chief officers to appeal for employees whose loss would seriously inconvenience the city's works, believing that the tribunal set up by the Government can foe trusted to safeguard the country's interests.
