Pennion Commissioner

Appointment of state pension commits sioner will be authorized by the next leg. isature, if present plans which are on foot by the legislators should material ize. It is pointed out that the pension fund has now grown to such an extent as to necesstate constant attention to handle the appropriation for that pur- pose. the appropriation from year to year having steadily grown with the revenues Of the state.
 By virtue of the one mill tax, which allows pensioners 10 cents on every SlW assessed by the state tax commission. and by reason of the steady assessment in- creases, the pension <slnd since the last four years has been showing steady growth from that source alone. Since ap- pointment of the state tax commission, tangible and intangible assessments have grown from s375. .O00,o0o to s521, ,0oo,o00, the figures announced for this year. As a consequence, it is seen that the fund is steadily growing. despite the fact that the ''gray line is thinning out.
 The one mill tax and the $400,OO0 ap- propriation allowed by the state will make the, pension fund for next year in tie neighborhood of s1,00o,00o, or about s921, 900. Ten years ago the pension fund was s115,OSS97.
