POLICE PAY.
BOBBIES GET A RISE,
Mere fs jajifeat; 30y,- oosr s there will b& great joy* m the police ranks. They're going to get a rise. During the next session of Parliament Minister! for Justice McGowan intends to submit proposals for. an increase of screw for policemen, and it is also possible that prison warders will be treated likewise.- The reason for the rise is, of course, .the high cost of living and ,t«he increasing burdens on the slop's shoulders. Commissioner D-iiHiie is said to 'have recommended the rise, though whether he suggests one for himself i's more "than "Truth" can say. r Minister for Education Fowlds, at Auckland, t'other night, reckoned the police should get a rise, and was loudly applauded. Probably he knew of the proposals, and posed as the Minister responsible. Just as if there are no^school-teach-ers who are more m need of a rise than policemen!
