PENSIONS TO CIVIL SERVANTS.
TO THK EDITOR. Sir,—l notice that Mr J. K. Logan, who retired from his position in the Post and Telegraph Department at the beginning of the year, is in receipt of a pension of £6OO a year. This is outrageous. I havo nothing to say against Mr Logan, who, I believe, was an efficient arid conscientious officer, but I do object to the principle of giving highly-paid officers 6uch txtravagant amounts as pensions. If a man gets a substantial salary over a long number of years he should, when he retires, be ableto exist on his savings and a pension of £2OO a year, which I consider should be the maximum. It would be much more to the point and more equitable bo give the lower-paid men decent pensions and deduct anything over £2OO from the others —I am, etc., Justice. August 3.
