Minister for Public Works has decided that the deduction often percent, shall be made upon all salaries, pay, wages, etc., to August Ist. Will you please give instruction to hare pay sheets made out from July 15ih to 31st without deducting, and from August Ist to 31st with ten per cent, off amount due.
