OLD SCALE RESTORED
Marriage Allowances To Naval Ratings
Auckland, January 20.
The old scale of marriage allowances to ratings in the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy has been restored as from January 1. When wage and salary cuts were made throughout the Public Service in 1931 the allowances granted to married naval ratings came up for review, and these were placed on a sliding scale.
It has now been decided to revert to the old fixed scale which, in the case of the majority of the ratings, has resulted in a higher allowance. Owing to variations in the amount of the allowances paid under the sliding scale it is impossible to determine the exact increase in pay resulting from the reversion to the old system. However, the majority of married naval ratings with families will probably receive an additional 3d. a day.
