POSTAL SERVICE.
SALARY INCREASES. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 1. “Increases in salaries to lower-paid officers in the Post and Telegraph service, decided upon, recently by the Postmaster-General, Sir Joseph Ward, will come into operation as from today. The scale for the general division has been revised, and the increases are designed to provide a more reasonable payment to male officers after completing their apprenticeship period of five years. It was stated by Sir Joseph Ward recently that a workman usually reached the maximum of his grade (£240) when he was 26 years of age. but under the new scale he should reach that wage at approximately 23 years of age. ' The amended salary schedules will be gazetted this week.
