bill 7o3o. FOR the relief OF pensioners

for the payment OF the shortage in the
pensions due certain members of the
police force from June 50. 1894. TO May

that period was due to a deficiency in
the policemen's relief fund.

was Obviated by the act of Congress OF
June II. 1896. authorizing the use OF
moneys derived from fines IN the police
court to meet any deficiency which might
occur in the policemen's and fremen' 3
relief funds. the deprivation OF the sum
in arrears prior to the passage OF this
act was severely felt. and made 10 neces,
sary for some OF those depending upon
