P. & T. SERVICE.
THE REDUCTION IN STAFF. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 31. Tn reply to a suggestion that the natural wastage should be allowed automatically to reduce the P. and T. staff, the Minister states that no fresh appointments have been made for 18 months, unless there was no suitable officer available, and that a large number of surplus officers have been so absorbed- The majority of those leaving, however, Were message boys and girls and temporary exchange attendants, and surplus clerical officers cannot be taken into such positions where the staff is in excess of requirements. The department can hardly avoid terminating the services of officers reported as inefficient. The Minister expresses his willingness to discuss the matter more fully if necessary.
