ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
MUST BE CUT DOWN.
(Per Press Association.—Copyright.)
WANGANUI, Saturday,
The Wanganui City Council lias decided to make economies in the engineers' administrative staff, in keeping with the reductions in labour on outdoor work, but instead of straightout dismissals, men will be offered work-in the department other than that in the office.. It was stated at a meeting that the greatest number of men the council had ever employed was in 1927, yet the cost of administration was no lower now. The on-
gineer reported to a special committee recently that he could see no way of effecting economics, but the council ruled otherwise, and instructed him to submit proposals showing how adjustments can be made which will effect a saving in his administrative staff of £IOOO a year. The council also decided that if it was considered necessary the engineer will bo relieved immediately of his duties as tramway engineer, though at the same time it expressed every confidence in his work.
