CONTROL OF PUBLIC SERVICE
TWO COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZED. (From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, July 22. The appointment of two Public Service Commissioners to hold office jointly is authorized in the Finance Bill, which was introduced in the House of Representatives to-day by GovernorGeneral’s Message. The office of Public Service Commissioner has been vacant since the retirement of Mr P. D. N. Verschaffelt a year ago.
The Bill provides that joint commissioners may be appointed for a term not exceeding three years, and shall be eligible for reappointment. The salary ol each commissioner is fixed at £1250 a year. Where there are two commissioners in office, and they differ on any question under their jurisdiction, some other person may be appointed by Order-in-Council to’ settle the question in dispute. An independent settlement is to be regarded as final.
