The Council, which had already accorded its stuff very generous treatment, declined to yield to this fresh demand. It was pointed out that there was no reason why the Council staff should be freed from all the burdens of the war, in the alleles of dearer living and higher home, which fell upon the rate- payers. Discontented members of the staff were invited to resign if they felt that they could not take less than the full equivalent in current values of their pre-war salaries. No resignations were tendered.—I ant, Sir, Ac., RATEPAYER.
