THE PUBLIC SERVICE
QUESTION OF CONTROL TWO COMMISSIONERS TO BE APPOINTED CHIEF AND ASSISTANT (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, March 10. The control of the public service in New Zealand in future will be vested in two officers, one to rank ns chief commissioner and the other as assistant. This information was given to-day by the Prime Minister, Mr M. J. Savage. “Cabinet discussed the question of public service control to-day,” said Mr Savage, "but no decision was made so far as appointments are concerned, but I can say that two, not three, commissioners will be appointed. The appointments will be made by the Government.” This makes an end to the rumours that the Government intended to revert to public service control by three commissioners.
It was also mentioned by the Prime Minister that the Government intended to face the problem _of regrading in the public service, which was long overdue. Consideration would also be given to questions of retirement from the public service and superannuation.
