THE AGE LIMIT.
COMPULSORY RETIREMENT ADVOCATED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, August 1. Continuing his address at the Post and Telesraph Conference, the president urged the compulsory retirement of the older officers. The Government should not have the slightest compunction in retiring these old officers, and he believed that there was already sufficient authority to retire them without any special legislation. The : position was very acute, and was probably worse in their departments than in any other. While raving this, he would like to say that if the present secretary, who had reached the age limit, could be retained until after reclassification had been absolutely cleared up ho believed it would be to the benefit of the service as a whole. He was strongly of opinion that the position of president and member of the Promotion Board should bo held by a separate and distinct person. This Would especially be necessary when the real work of reclassification'began.
