SALARY SCALES
The salary scale in the Public Service was compared with that offered by outside employment by Mr. S. T. Barnett, of the Public Service Commissioner's office,. in a public lecture' at Victoria College last night. "Is it impertinent to inquire," he said, "if there is any good reason why a town clerk is paid as much as the DirectorGeneral of the Post and Telegraph Department, or why a city engineer should enjoy the same emoluments as the Engineer-in-Chief of the Public Works Department, or, again, why
v.^e manager of a municipal electricity department be equally rewarded with thfi Chief Electrical Engineer, Public Works Department—the man who reticulates and peddles electricity in one scheme on a parity with the .man who is responsible for the whole country's electricity output and the main reticulation of it?"
