PLAN PENSION SYSTEM
FOR CITY EMPLOYEES
Active Organization Formed il
Pittsburgh-2,2OO Members
Already Secured.

a plan to secure pensions for all city
employees Of Pittsburgh. Pa, other than
the tremen and policemen, is now under
way and the promoters hope for success
There are about $3.50 eligible to join this
organization, and already 200 have be-
come members The initiation fee is 81
The association has not yet asked coun-
Gil for an appropriation, but intends to do
SO next spring, when the appropriations
Tor the year are taken up. Although
Mayor w. A. Magee and Controller f. S.
Morrow are members ex off1cio of the
board, the organization, as yet, has no
connection with the city government. The
system as laid out will give PENSIONS
death and disability benefits. The pen
sion is to go into force after twenty years
or service. The employees are to be paid
pensions at a rate of half of the salary
they made during the last five years of
their service. This is to prevent persons
being promoted into high salary positions
near the end Of their twenty years of
service and then collect pensions of half
of what they made in this position No
one will be eligible for pension until
after he has paid in for ten years And
then in no case will the pension be more
than 500 a month. The dues are to be
per cent of the salary, with permis-
sion of the association to increase this
assessment to per cent when it is
deemed necessary.

May Have Municipal Phones.

The public utilities committee of the
board of supervisors of San Francisco
Cal, has declared in favor of a municipal
telephone system and the people of San
Francisco will probably have an oppor-
tunity to vote for or against bond issue
for that purpose in December next The
first step toward the acquisition of a
municipal system was taken in compile
ance with a petition circulated by the
municipal telephone and anti-merger
league. The petition was signed with
thousands Of names. These names and
the result of the special election held last
March. which subsequently was held to be
void, but much to do with influencing the
committee to declare in favor Of the bond
election.

Favor City Dance Hall.

municipal dance hall similar to that
now being operated in Cleveland may be
established in Toledo before the parks
are opened next summer. City officials
are heartily in favor of the plan. There
would no doubt be a great deal of objec-
ton from certain quarters said Mayor
Whitlock. 1T would be a good thing for
the city because it would tend to keep
people away from dance halls which are
over or connected with saloons" If a
dance hall is established by the city it
will be erected in one of the public parks
and a charge Of 3 cents per dance will be
made, as is done in Cleveland.
