STAY ON THE JOB - There waàs goiod n.ewis for provincial civil seýrvants and bad newýs for taxpayers on Sunday when the province's civl -servants voted to accept the government~s offer averaging 2P1½ percent and flot preci- pitate an illegal strike that migcht have been rough on them and a great mnany othier péoýple. They had been holding out for 29 percent. That increase, based on an average $170, per week, will be more than $35, which is a sizeable jump. It should put most of t.hem over the $10,10M a year bracket. Maybe Premnier Davis isn9t such a cheapskate after ail. It's a nuztty world. You start out demanding 61 percent and end up at 21½ thilat probably was the figure they were hit- ting for ail along. Overali cost to taxpayers is estimated at 16.6 millions a year.
