CITY COUNCIL SALARIES.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Mr R. B. Middlemiss appears to have a very hazy idea regarding the raising of the salaries by the City Council of its most highly-paid servants. It seems that he is unaware that, with the Mayor included, the Labour members are in a minority, and in spite of the opposition which was put up by the Labour members, the measure was carried by _ the stronger Tory vote. In my opinion there was no necessity to raise the salaries of already well-paid servants. It should have been the lower-paid men who are on the bread line that the council considered. The Press did not publish the discussions on this question, for some reason or other. Perhap you could call it the freedom of the Press, and for that reason, Mr R. B. Middlemiss, along with many others, was left in the dark. It appears that the only chance for the lower-paid men is to elect a Labour council. They will then regain their lost privileges, which the Tory council took away from them.—l am, etc., Ratepayer. February 11.
