CIVIL SERVANTS’ PAY.
big reduction proposed. ABOUT 33 1-3 PER CENT. LEGISLATION THIS WEEK. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Rumours gained currency on Saturday and to-day concerning reductions in the salaries of civil servants, and were referred to by a Times reporter to the Prime Minister. Mr. Massey said he could not deny that the rumours were correctly founded. Cabinet held a meeting on Saturday, when matters including the subject of reductions of salaries were discussed. While unwilling to give detailed information respecting the effect of the proposals, Mr. Massey admitted that legislation would be introduced this week encompassing the reductions, which would be wide in their effect and would apply throughout the service with certain exceptions (it is understood these are the Education Department and the Police Department).
Asked if there was any truth in the suggestion that the reductions would amount to 33 1-3 per c6nt. the Prime Minister said: “Yes, that’s about right.”
