EMPLOYEES’ ADVICE
Novel City Council Move at Dunedin By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, December 8. The proposal that a selected member of the employees of each municipal department attend meetings of the city council committees in an advisory capacity was adopted last evening on the mayor's casting vote. There was vigorous opposition, Cr. Allen describing the proposal as startling and dangerous and Cr. Begg asking if it could be guaranteed that these workers’ representatives would be bound down to rhe same secrecy in confidential matters as were councillors. If they could not be so assured, they might as well open committee proceedings to the Press. Cr. Silverstone stated that the proposal was Labour policy. It was merely co-opting the services of their employees to mutual advantage and improving the esprit de corps of the service.
