MORE MEN DISMISSED
TRAM TRACK REPAIR HANDS APPROPRIATION USED UP Following the Tramway Committee’s reduction policy, 24 men casually employed on the permanent way have received a week's notice. Three gangs numbering 98 men have already been put off. THESE dismissals make a total of 122 within a month or so, and further dismissals of a number of men now on sick leave will take place soon. The track staff will then have been reduced from 105 men to 70. The track repair staff has been swelled from about 50 by the engagement of 140 extra men to relieve unemployment. Mr. A. E. Ford, general manager of the tramways, states that funds appropriated for the purpose of creating employment have now been used and the casual hands have had to be reduced in numbers.
