Although the desirability OF organizing
4 beneficial association composed OF the
mem bers OF the police force had been
agitated and discussed, for years, Ii was
not until March 9, 1870. that Tho project
took definite form. On that day the as
soeiat ion was formally organized under
a charter granted by the General Assem-
bly, and from that time To the present it's
career has bsen one of uniform prosperity
and its benefcont work widespread and
valuable
The association at that time started out
with fund of something more tran 300
which Ind been contributed by gentle
men TO whom the police had rendered
signal services. One OF the contributors OF
the origin fund was the firm Of Barker,
Whitaker x Co., who sent a substantial
check as a recognition of the services
rendered ny the police in caring for the
firms goods, which were exposed al fire.
Another generous donation was received
from the late George NJ. Richmond as
token OF his appreciation OF the services
rf the police in protecting and recovering
his property during the severe freshet
in 1857.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-12-23

There have been other contributors
since, and from dues, proceeds OF enter
tninments and balls the fund has grown
Until to-day II Is close TO $50, 600. And
during all these years many thousands OF
dollars have been paid ont in sick and
death benefits. 1t IL worth while to give
briefly some idea OF what the policeman
pays. ano what benefits he obtains from
the association. The initiation fee is
now si5. Annual dues amount TO q,
while for each member who dies an as
tessment OF q is levied. Now as to the
benefits II member becomes too in TO
perform duty, or Is incapacitated by rea-
son OF injuries. he receives ~ day dur
ing the entire period OF nis incapacity.
AS showing how liberal the association is
in this matter, II is only necessary To say
that in one instance a member was paid
s2 day for more than four years, and
the payment stopped only when be was
placed on the superanuuated list at 800
salary per year. Besides paying this S2 a
day the association has frequently en-
ployed a nurse for sick members, defray-
ing this added expense from he treas.
ury. II the wife OF any menher OF the
association dies, that member immedi-
ately receives 5000. On the death OF n
member, the association rays TO his
widow or family $1,000 within iivo dgys.
What association can equal this I'm the
benefits il coniers upon is members9
