Committee backs wage change amid council debate
The committee favored the pay increase while the mayor noted careful consideration. They argued workers on shifts earned about ten shillings daily with 10 days’ annual leave, and that the plant’s value justified higher pay though some officials warned against overstaffing. The council discussed impacts on charges and operations, with a final view that some increase was needed but contingent on broader cost.
