MEN ON TASK WORK
“Very Happy About It” “Do I understand this work is being done by unemployed labour?” asked Cr. I’. Dowse at the meeting of the Lower Hutt Borough Council last night, in reference to the Waiwctu road formation. “Yes, on task work, at £1 a day,” replied the Mayor, Mr. J. W. Andrews. Cr. Dowse contended that that was not a satisfactory position when the permaucut employees were getting 10/- a day. “Are the men satisfied with task work?” asked Cr. W. A. F. Hall. “Yes, they are very happy about it,” answered the Mayor. "Well, T would not be,” said Cr. Hall. Mr. Andrews: No, I don’t suppose you would. It was reported that the total number of men employed on relief work under the No. 5 scheme during last month was 20S. In Mav of last year the figure was 339.
