Trained in Hard School.
The opinion that some of the men of 60 years of age and more whom local bodies had been forced to dismiss on March 31 wore better workers than many of those they had been permitted to retain was expressed (says a special correspondent in Auckland) by a local body engineer. “They wero more reliable, ’’ he said, “and had been trained in a school of hard and steady work. They did their work conscientiously and well, and not by fits and starts like some of the younger men." With these opinions other local body engineers were in agreement, stating that they would welcome the return of many of the old brigade, the loss of whom' they regretted.
