Many Recommendations Made in Re- gard to Civil Service Department A report on the organization of the public service of Canada, made by Sir George Murray at the request• of the Dominion Government, was laid on the table of the house on Wednesday by the prime minister. The repot contained some thirty printer page - Sir George stated that he was mo Impressed by the enormous amount of work the ministers have to do under Me present system -in force In Canada. They both have too much to do and do too much. He recommended a greater devolu- tion of authority, that is much that is now done by order -in -council should be done by the individual ministers. That Is further, that the ministers should be given greater authority without be, to the cabinet. Legislation would be necessary to ef- fect such changes. A committee of ministers should be appointed to deal with tht matter and to recommend such duties en may be left to the individual ministers. Sir George also recommended that the provisions of the Civil Service Act be extended to the outside service of the government, thus taking it from the political arena. It was undesir- able, however, that the commission should interfere to the matter of pro- motions to the service to the past He made the recommendaton that promotion should be left to deputy beads. only on the understanding that merit alone should count. A pension system Of retirements was suggested. TSOR/DA•, DeratsIaa .21, 101.8 EAST STREET GARAGE We wish everybody it Happy and Prosperous New Year. ARTHUR M.
