compulsory Retirement at the Age Of
Seventy Provided For.

Two bills providing for the retirement of
department clerks have been introduced In
the House by Representative Gillett Of Mas
sachusetts by request. One Of the bills au-
thorizes the creation of a retirement fund
by the retention Of s. g. month from the
salary Of each government clerk in the
classified service. After thirty years ser
vice clerk shall be eligible for retirement
and to quarterly payment from this fund
OF $3.50. Compulsory retirement at seventy
Is also provided for. Should the fund at
any time become exhausted, SO that the pro
rata retirement pay should not exceed $3.50
a month, such pay is to be suspended en-
tirely until it's proportions have again IN
creased.
The other bill provides for the retention
OF per cent Of the pay of government
clerks, and provides that after ten years
service clerk shall be eligible for retire
ment. and If he retires he shall receive IL
per cent Of the salary he was receiving in
the service. Retirement of clerks who have
reached the age of seventy is made com
puisory at 60 per cent of their annual sal
any. However, this retirement pay is not to
exceed $40 a year.
