“PARLIAMENTARY INFLUENCE”
AND DEPARTMENTAL ECONOMY. “I know,” said Mr. M. A. Carr at yesterday’s meeting of the council of the AVellington Chamber of Commerce, "that steps have been taken to economise in a number of Government Departments, but as soon as one employee gets notice that his services are likely to be dispensed with, so soon does a member or a prominent business man knock at the door of his chief to ask for reinstatement." Mr. Carr added that he understood it was extremely difficult to carry out the wishes of heads of Departments in the matter of economy, because ot "Parliamentary influence." He therefore moved the following motion, which was carried unanimously:— "That this chamber expresses its appreciation of the efforts of the. Government to effect a saving in administration, and respectfully asks all chambers of commerce and Parliamentary representatives to support the Government in its endeavours to effect economy."
