PENSION INCREASED.
Former Foreman of Engine Company
Gets $50 Per Month.

James G. Wilson, at one time foreman
of No. 0 engine company of the District
fire department, who was severely injured
at the Knox fire about six years ago, was
placed on the retired list about year ago
on a pension of $50 per month. Recently
he applied for an increase of pension, claim
ing that he has become wholly and per-
manently disabled, and that the amount
allowed him is not sufficient to support him
and his wife and child. The board Of sur
geons examined the man. reporting that his
contention that he is wholly and perma-
nently disabled is true.
After investigation, Commissioner Wight
who has immediate supervision of the fire
department, recommended that the pension
be increased to $50. Commissioner Beach
coincided, and the pension was accordingly
increased, Commissioner Ross voting for
$40, in accordance with the recommended
ton of the chief engineer, Mr.. Joseph Par
ris, to whom the ma tier was referred.
Ex-Foreman Wilson, in addition to be-
ing severely injured in the Knox fire. mar
-roWly escaped death in the big Louisiana
avenue fire about five years ago, when sew
eral members of the fire department were
killed,
