MONEY FOR WIVES.
PROVISION FOR CHILDREN. J B, /elegraph —Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Mr. G. Mitchell, M.P., recently wrote to the Acting Prime Minister suggesting that instead of the present flat rate on relief works of 10s a day for single men and 12a for married men al! men should be paid the same wage, but the wives of married men should be paid 2s per day for the maintenance of themselves and Is per day for each child under sixteen years. To this Sir Francis Bell has replied: “I will submit the question to Cabinet at an early date, but in anticipation I may? point out that we could hardly pay £1 2s per day to a man with ten chil* dren under 16. If any scale were provided of an increase in pay per child, where there are children dependent, the. increase must cease at a certain number.”
