Whether the Commissioners Of the Dis
trlct have the legal authority 10 annul
any OF the police OF fire pensions, which
has been denied by Mai. Sylvester. super
intendent Of police. and several Of the
pensioners. is as yet an open question
Firm assurance comes from the Com
mlssioners that they Will consider each
case in itself. and il the conditions do
not seem TO them 20 warrant the con-
tinuance Of the pension, either in whole
OF in part they viii order The discOn-
tinuance Of the pension. They further
consider that the refusal OF a pensiOner
10 appear for examination IS. at least
in the spirit Of the law, sufficient reason
for the annulment Of his pension. As
stated, one OF the men who failed 10
come up for examination IS Sidney
Bieber, former fire marshal OF the Dis
trict, who draws a pension OF so per
month.
Dispute Boards Authority.
Some Of the pensioners have taken the
examination under protest. saying they
believed that the decision Of the pension
matter IS beyond the jurisdiction Of the
Commissioners. because the fund from
which the pensioners are paid is accumu-
lated by the members Of the police and
FIRE departments, and Is not government
money
This Is tyue. however. only in part
The rule is that each policeman and FIRE
man shall pay into the fund for pensions
81 per month, but II is further provided
that the income from the dog taxes OF
the city. and also from certain fines CO..
[ lected in the Police Court, shall go 20
this object II IS obvious that the 81
per man per month plan would not begin
20 pay all the pensions IN the two de-
/ pGrtments.
II IS the purpose OF the Commissioners
I 10 start as soon as possible on the con
sideratiOn Of the 134 cases OF pensioners
which they have 20 decide upon. and
I they will carry oUt the law exactly as
stated, reducing or stopping entirely
! those pensions where the conditions do
I not seem to warrant its continuance.

Since the days when Rameses Tambled
