a request for a legal opinion, as to
whether their positions entitle them to a
pension in case Of injuries Incurred in

rnissioners by Deputy Chief L. V. seib
and inspectors NJ. c. Metz and c. G.
Achstetter Of the fire department The

Quoted from their salary and credited to

Accompanying the communication with
another letter.. Chief Belt states that the
act providing for a reorganization Of the
fire department created certain new po-
siticns, but failed to make an amendment
to the pension law, rendered necessary by
such reorganization. as the law now
stands there is no provision made for
the pensioning Of the FIRE marshal and
the two inspectors. The danger to which
these men are exposed, in the opinion Of
Chief Belt, renders them eligible 10 the
benefits of the relief fund.
Corpora ton Counsel Z. H. Thomas, to
whom the matter was referred. has re-
quested the opinion Of the Comptroller Of
the Treasury. stating that he believes
legislation on the subject is needed.
