of the corporation counsel to the contrary

Wiles, mother of the late j. J. Wiles wrote
to Commissioner Mcfarland stating that
since the death of her son she has been
compelled to sacrifice her home ana perform
manual labor, which is far beyond her
strength, and asking whether she might
not be allowed a pension under The recent
act of Congress.
The paper was referred to Chief Engineer
Belt of the fire department and in his report
on the case he wrote the following: Mrs.
Wiles is one Of four dependent mothers
whose sons gave up their lives in the line
good sons, who at the end of each month
gave to their mothers the better part of
their calarieS 70 rthe maintenance of their
mothers and children. These men paid their
dollar each month into the pension fund as
well as the married men, but The only bene-
fit received by their families was SIS each
to defray funeral expenses. The wives and
children of married men receive the same
allowances for funeral expenses and a pen-
