Big Savings Planned From National Defence Reorganization
The pending reorganization of the national defence structure will involve about 800 retirements from the air board naval service and the department of national defence. About 100 retired last year and 300 have been discharged since then with roughly 100 more expected before completion. The consolidation is not yet in force and will be proclaimed after reclassification. Savings from these consolidations are not to appear in ordinary departmental estimates. Last session cut nearly $3,000,000 in votes for these departments and a further $650,000 in savings came from ending war and demobilization funded positions.
