PUBLIC SERVICE
PAY TO BE SUPPLEIIEIs TED,
The different Departments of the Public Service have, in common with other establishments in tho Dominion, been necessarily inconvenienced very greatly by the absence of many members of the staffs at the war. and it is a matter for congratulation that, during the trying times of the past four years, the increased work and responsibility due to war conditions have been so ably undertaken and so satisfactorily carried out. Unfortunately, owing to the greatly increased cost of living as a result of the war, the pay of the civil servant has not been found to bo adequate, and when the supplementary estimates are brought down the House will be asked to authorise certain additional payments to the omcere of the State so as to relieve them somewhat of the difficulties which they are now experiencing from th© cauw) mentioned. Legislation dealing with* the Post and Telegraph Department will also be submitted to Parliament. and the House will bo asked to out it on the statute book.
