YESTERDAY AFTERNOON'S SITTTNG-. Wellington, 7.15 p.m. SUBSIDIES.
Mr Bowen gave notice that he, would move that, in view of the serious loss the premature withdrawal of subsidies is certain to cause to local bodies which have made financial arrangements dependent on a continuance of subsidies as fixed by statute, Government be requested to make provision for payment of such subsidies until the end of 1881. Mr Murray gave notice that he would ask whether, in reducing Civil Service salaries as proposed, it was intended to make a corresponding reduction on pensions, more especially on pensions payable to absentees. Mr Hall explained that Government had considered the resolution of Mr Saunders, and held that it bound them to make a reduction of 10 per cent in all salaries payed and wages, and this would be provided for in Appropriation Act, but while applying the rule geneally there were certain exceptions in cases to which it would not be right to apply the reduction, and these the G-overnment would take the responsibility of excepting by the consolidation of offices.
