MUNICIPAL WAGES
CHRISTCHURCH STAFF NEW POLICY AWAITED [by telegraph—OWN correspondent] CHRISTCHURCH. Monday In view of the fact that Labour no longer commands a majority in the Christchureh City Council interest is being taken in the policy to be adopted by the Citizens' Association in regard to the wages of council employees. Practically all the council's outdoor employees are governed by awards, sevoral of which have long periods yet to run. The Mayor, Mr. D. G. Sullivan, M.P., said he thought that it would bo very interesting to see how the Citizens' Association would carry out its policy regarding wages. He did not propose to go into the matter in detail, but he thought the association was going to have a very tough job to give effect to the promises made by its candidates. "I am pleased that in the last hours of the campaign, Citizens' Association candidates made it perfectly clear that it was not their intention to interfere with awards already in operation," said the Mayor. "If they can give effect to their promise to reduce rates by ]0 per cent without reducing wages, or interfering with the officiencv of the council services, no one wilf be more pleased than myself. I shall await their plan with the greatest interest."
