SALARY CUTS

THE TEACHERS' VIEW M TAX REMISSIONS TILL 10% RESTORED fp** Unmet) PfiEss Association] WELLINGTON, May 10. When moving remits urging that alary cuts should be restored and that there should be no remission of taxation until at least one 10 per cent, cut had been restored, speakers at the conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute expressed the view that the Government should follow the lead of the local bodies in the movement to augment purchasing power. It was the habit of Governments, it was stated, when a new level of stabilisation was reached, to pay more attention to the remitting of (axes than to a restoration of salary cuts. Delegates considered, however, that when conditions were improving the people who had suffered most should be the first to be given relief. ANOTHER BODY ACTS, INVERCARGILL, May 10. . At to-night's meeting of the council of the Southland Acclimatisation Society it was unanimously decided that, having regard to the society's financial position, the 10 per cent, cut in the salaries of the hatchery manager and the rangers should be restored. “ I think it is generally agreed that the salary cuts should be restored,” remarked Mr S. M. Macallstrir.
