THE CIVIL SERVICE.
'"Retired" complains about civil servants turning their homes into boarding houses and competing against hotel and hoarding houses. He asks that Sir Joseph Ward should stop it. If "Retired" will use his pen to get justice done to the civil servants in the shape of the, restoration of the 1922 salary cuts, he will find that it will be the most efficient means of bringing about what he desires. Civil servants don't as a rule turn 1 heir homes into boarding houses for the fun of it, but to try to make a decent standard of living, which was denied them by the Coates Government. In the same way as electrical traders and drapers, civil servants are looking to the Prime Minister for justice. It is a sad state of affairs when servants of the State have to augment their meagre incomes by turning tlfeir wives into cooks, housemaids and waitresses, and I hope with "Retired" that i(%will soon be unnecessary. CIVIL SERVANT.
