APPOINTMENT OF A COMMISSIONER
PUBLIC SERVICE’S CONCERN AT DELAY Concern because no appointment has been made to fill the office of Public Service Commissioner is expressed in an editorial article in the July number of the Public Service Journal. The article says: “The delay in the appointment of a Public Service Commissioner has caused disquiet throughout the service, and we are advised that the executive committee proposes to approach the Prime Minister about it immediately. Granted that if ever a Government had its hands full to overflowing our present one has, there remains the fact that the absence of a central head to the Public Service is a retarding factor in the machinery of Governmental administration, the more so because of a regrettable accident to the Deputy-Commis-sioner, Mr A. D. Thomson, which has made his services unavailable. “In spite of the delay we believe that the Government is alive to the desirability of an immediate appointment and we expect that finality will be reached before many days have passed.”
