loudly: IF you wish to remain here

Mr.. Mott grew still more angry.

POLICE PENSIONS.
The Fund is Now i'm a Sad State OF
Depletion.


The police pension fund is in no better
condition now than it was a few weeks
ego, and unless Congress comes to its re-
lief the pensioners will continue to suffer.
Through the efforts of Chief Clerk Sylves-
ter the pensioners We're paid 60 per cent Of
their November pension money, and now
they will receive about the same proper
ton for the month of December. This
money is made up of s241 from the sale Of
abandoned property, $50 from the police
took and the balance from fines and re-
wards.
Tickets for the police ball to be given
rext week are being sold. and the police
hope to realize enough from this source to
keep the fund going for few months on
the short allowance. The tickets are 80
cents each and are for sale at the police
stations and by the officers on their beats.
The police book, which was managed by
Chief Clerk Sylvester has thus far Melted
more than $4,000 which has been applied to
the payment of pensioners.
