REPORT OF THE BOoKKEEPER-rHE REASON WHY
NO MORE CLAIMS ARE PAID.
George p Gott bookkeeper for the Police De-
partment yesterday submitted statement con-
corning the condition of the Police Pension Fund,
desiring, he said, to correct a general misunder-
standing about the present deficiency IN the fund.
After describing the creation of the fund
by means of fines percentages or rewards
TO policemen, sales of unclaimed property,
etc. he referred to the decision of the Court of APP
meals in the case of PatrOiman John Ryan. Under
that decision. he said the Board OF Police had been
compelled 10 pay out of the fund claims amounting
to about $4,000 The total amount OF money paid
into the fund on account oil lost time was
$3.50 976 81. None of that money has 0een lost or
stolen but 1t has been spent III paying pensions and
Judgments against the Board OF Police. On ac-
count of the decision in the Ryan case, that po-
liceman must receive his full pay sick well, the
revenue of the fund has become Insignificant
IN comparison with the expenditures. At
this date the pensions amount TO about Sl4OOOO
