PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
THE TEMPORARY HEAD. PROTEST FROM .VELLIXGTON. (By Telegraph—Special to "StV.") WE__LIKGTO_r, this day. The Wellington section of the _*ew Zealand Public Service Association unanimously passed the following resolution: "That the association publicly protests against the delay in the filling of the vacant Public Service Cominia.ionership. The prime function of this officer is to protect the service from political influence, particularly in regard to appointments thereto and to promotions; yet these important duties hare for three months been carried on by aa officer in a temporary capacity, himself removable at will by politicians. This section considers that the existing position amounts to a scandal, and hopes that its protest will be supported by the Press, which stands for non-political control of the service, and also by every member of Parliament who is desirous of protecting the integrity of the Public Service."
