CHAIRMANS SERVICES
PAYMENT OF HONORARIUM INADEQUATE AMOUNT A request for the Board to co "rm the usual honorarium for the. chairman gave rise to discussion at the monthly meeting of the Wanganui Education Board, yesterday. “May 1 ask what the amount is?” queried Mr J. >S. Tingey. The chairman; Forty-five pounds. 1 didn’t want it. Mr 'J’ingey said that the sum was inadequate. By analogy with e amounts paid to other chairman £45 was almost absurd. He considered that the Board should protest. “ But. look at the honour attached to the position.” said Air J. K. Horublow. Air W. Adams said hat up to three years ago no board iu New Zealand paid an honorarium to its chairman. Then the Department, voted a lump sum to cover the whole of New Zealand. Mr Collins said that he was opposed to an increase and, on Air Tingey’s suggestion that, a remit be sent to the Education .Boards’ conference, he asked that the matter be deferred until they appointed a new chairman. This was agreed to on the understanding that whoever was appointed to represent the Board at the conference was at liberty to introduce the subject there. The usual £45 was passed for the term under review.
