Salary Scale Regulations CORRECTION OF DEFECT Regulations providing for salary scales for the First (salaried) Division of the Railway Department, are published In the current Gazette. In an accompanying statement the chairman/of the Government Railways Board, Mr. H. H.

Mr. Sterling said he desired to make it clear that the scales now published made no alteration whatever in the rates of pay payable to the staff, and the rates as shown in the Gazette would, as expressed in the amended regulations; be subject to the “cuts” effected under the Finance Act, 1931, and the National Expenditure Adjust'ment Act, 1932.
