"GOVERNMENT STROKE."
ADDINGTON ALLEGATIONS. PROBABLE PUBLIC INQUIRY. By Telegraph—Pres3 Association. WELLINGTON, January 25. The "New Zealand Times" understands that the Government intends shortly to arrange for a public inquiry into the system of management in vogue at the Addington workshops and the cost of the work done there. The constitution of the tribunal has not yet been settled, but may be decided this week. Meanwhile the Addington officials, to whom were referred the expert's allegations in regard to lack of discipline and loafing, are framing their answer, which has not yet come tog hand. One of the features of the inquiry will probably be an attempt to discover the person who divulged to the newspapers the General-Manager's strongly worded letter of complaint. This is regarded as a serious breach of discipline, as the Department's regulations strictly forbid the railway servants giving information to the public, or showing an official document to an unauthorised person, unless instructed to do so in the course of their duty.
