UP THIRTY PER CENT?
BOROUGH OFFICE SALARIES. DEMANDS OF THE UNION. “If the Arbitration Court or Conciliation Council agrees to the new scale of wages asked for by the Local Body Officers’ Union, our office staff annual salary bill will increase by £7OO or 30 pei’ cent.,” stated the Mayor. Mr T. Jordan, at last night’s meeting of the Masterton Borough Council. “And yet,” added Mr Jordan. "I read of an irresponsible politician in the House stating that local bodies were deliberately keeping up their rates to make political capital out of it. In my experience I have never heard of a local body deliberately keeping up its rates. That was not a fair statement for any politician to make."
