PUBLIC SERVICE
REGRADING IN SIGHT AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Oct. 13. The Public Service has been hoping to secure complete regrading of positions and a long process has how reached a point closely approaching finality, the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, stating to-day that he has received the report of the uniformity committee of the Public Service on this question through the Public Service commissioners.
“The Government has now to go into the whole position,” explained Mr. Savage, “and I am bound to say the public servants have had to suffer. We have inherited this amongst a thousand and one other sins from our predecessors. The Government recognises regrading will be an expensive process. It is expensive now, but was cheap in the past at the expense of the public servants. Regrading is one of the immediate Cabinet matters, and we have to see that everyone gets a decent standard of life, whether in the Public Service or out of it.”
