There is a deficiency of $4,000 in the
pension fund account and an appropria-
tion for that amount is to be included
in the estimate. For some time past
the financiers of the city have sighted
that fund and there have been numerous
retirements of late, and these have drained
the fund considerably, and it is at pres
ent in bad shape. Most of the men Of
the force now are young men and the
fund will, if put in good condition now,
be enabled to strengthen itself The law
allows an amount equivalent to four
per cent. of their salaries quarterly. The
Commissioners declare their intention
of getting all the law allows for this
pension fund.
The amount asked for for salaries in
clude those for fifty new patrolmen.
There exists at present twenty-seyen va
cancies. Men are to be promoted from
the several grades.
A resolution ordering transferred $71S-
81 from the pension fund to salary ac-
count was passed The Board oFinance
notified the Commissioners that it had or
dered transferred $500 from its contin-
gent fund to the police pension fund.
