which Walter A. Brown Is chairman,
and the special committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce, of which Will
liam F. GUIDE is chairman, are prepar-
ing to submit to Congress a pension
fund bill for firemen and police.
Mr.. Brown and Mr. GUIDE will call
upon the Commissioners within the
next few days to discuss the form of
the proposed bill. and will call
Joint meeting of their committees to
put the measure in shape for presen-
tatfon to Congress. They held a con-
ference yesterday afternoon, at which
thig line of action was agreed upon
The decision as to what form the
proposed measure will take, probably
will not be reached in time for MI.
Brown to make q definite report at the
annual meeting Of the Board of Trade
Monday night. Lack of time also will
probably prevent the special Chamber
committee from submitting such a re-
port at the regular monthly meeting
Of the Chamber, Tuesday night.
Notwithstanding this condition. II IA
expected the police and firemen's PEN
sion fund question will be brought up
on the floor of both organizations al
