ECONOMY CAMPAIGN
WANG AN UI CITY' COUNCIL
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
WANGANUI. lSth June . The Wanganui City' Council has' decided to make economies in the engi- . neers’ 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 last night that the greatest number of men the council had ever employed was in 1927, vet the cost of administration was no lower now. The engineer reported to a special committee recently that he could see no way of effecting economies, but the council to-night 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 derided that if it was considered necessary the engineer will be relieved immediately of his duties as tramway engineer, though at the same time they expressed every confidence in his work".
