ANTI-WASTE CAMPAIGN.
SALARIES OF CIVIL SERVANTS. THE POSITION IN ENGLAND. j By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 27, 5.5 p.m. London, July 26. Evidence is accumulating that the Government is seriously heeding the gnti-waste campaign. Sir Robert Horne, in the House of Commons, replying to criticisms regarding* excessive salaries paid to civil servants, said the staff of pre-war departments had been increased from 283,000 to 312,000, and this would be investigated. Fifty per cent, of 300,000 who were entitled to a war bonus had received less than 36s a week, exclusive of the bonus. Eighty-eight per cent, of the whole had less than £2OO a year. Only six thousand received salaries above £5OO a year, and 777 received above £lOOO. The sum of £lO,000.000 would automatically come off bonuses in September. Apart from this reduction the Government had decided to reduce salaries under £5OO a year, but no bonus could be paid where salaries were over £looo.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
