PUBLIC WORKS CAMPS
Replying to criticism' of a previous letter regarding Public Works camps, "Thankful" .writes: "Condemned timber is supplied free, and what one pays to get' it home is one's own concern; even a- cartlo.'ad for 12s 6d is a bargain. The firefighting appliances are easily seen in the fire brigade shed at the side of the road; fire reel, hoses, nozzles, etc:, are all in the open door. As to when, where, and how often the contract workers earn 35s per day, this was published in 'The Post in a Government statement some months ago, but an average of 35s per day has been made, say, for the last year or two. Even 50s per day was made for a while and as low as '20s per day of seven and a half hours." • -
