CEASED WORK.
OPOTIKI BOROUGH STAFF. OPOTIKI, Sept. 9. After working nearly six weeks without pay, members of the outside staff of the Opotiki Borough Council decided to cease work. Their decision was made as the result of the legal opinion which was presented at Tuesday night’s meeting of the council, which stated that the council had not been responsible for the wages of the men since July 27, when, according to legal opinion, the men were dismissed.
Two of the five dismissed employees, Messrs Talbot (foreman) and Hartsliorne (wharfinger), have been appointed to fill the respective positions until new appointments are made.
