form OF pension law be adopted unless II
includes a provision for contribution from
the beneficiary or a system Of wage per-
centaCe, the plan TO apply 10 employees IN
the competitive service Of the city.
The committee recommends that in the
event Of Illness Jr accident the salary OF
the disabled employe be continued and that
in the event cf permanent injury in the ser
vice a pension should begin at once. A
board OF pensions to handle all funds and
decide upon the payments is another
recommendation.
The tendency Of the present pension sys-
tenn" the committee reports, lis one OF
constantly increasing cost TO the city. A
large number OF firemen now on the active
rolls have the legal right to retire at the
present time on not less than half pay.
This la bility will increase, and likewise the
percentage Of pensions 70 the entire pay
roll II Is within possibility that the pen
sl,l rolls OF the Fire and Police depart
ments will reach or exceed the cost or the
active payrolls If continued on the present
basis"
