City and County Attorney Flournoy has
rendered an opinion, in reply to an inquiry
from the Police Commissioners, declaring
that an officer does not cease to be mem
Der of the Police Department because
placed on the pension roll and that in con-
sequence his relatives are entitled to $1,000
out OF the police fund, the same as if he had
been in active service at the time of his

The controversy arose over the case of
Corporal Watson Nichols, who was retired
on pension October l, 1889. On January
%, 1890, he died from natural causes and
his widow applied for the amount she
claimed was due her from the fund.
Attorney Flournov holds that under Sec
ton of the act of March T. 1889, any officer
on pension may be recalled to duty, pro-
Vided he has recovered from disability or in
cases OF great public emergency. He
therefore does not cease to be member of
