DIRECTOR OF HEALTH.
INTENDED RESIGNATION. PROBLEM OF SUPERANNUATION, [BX TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.] "WELLINGTON, Monday. Although it has been stated that tha Minister of Health, Hon. A. J. Stallworthy, has received advice from Dr. T. H. A. Valintine that he wishes to resign his post as Director-General of Health at the end of August, Dr. yalintino has not resigned. It is understood that the question of granting Dr. Valintino some form of pension or retiring allowance is being discussed. He has never been a member of the superannuation fund, and his is a professional appointment. However, if Dr. Valintine is granted such an allowance it will create a precedent, and the Government appears to be doubtful of the wisdom of taking such a step. Dr. C. J. Reakes, Director of the Department of Agriculture, is due to retire shortly, and if his appointment is not renewed for a further term, he also would be eligible for a retiring allowance, as his position is understood to be similar to that of Dr. Valintine.
