Bulletin of Committee of
One Hundred Gives
Statistics. u.,

Superannuation pensions paid in many
cities TO fremen and policemen are
studied in this weeks bulletin OF the
committee of one hundred and the fact
that District of Columbia firemen and
policemen are thus pensioned is held up
to Congress as an argument why a pen
sion system applying to employees of
the whole classified service should be
established Tee ~ o..
The bulletin reports in detail how
these police and firemen's pension. sys-
TENS are arranged. most of them be-
ing of the contributing kind These
pension systems, the bulletin declares,
offer the largest field for study in the
country.
"Firemen are provided for in this way
in eight-siX cities, in twenty-four States
| and in the District of Columbia; police
men in eghty-one cities, twenty-five
States, and the District. Such civil
pension and retirement systems, con-
tinues the statement, ARE of compare
lively recent origin, ninety-nine of them
having been established since 1899 and
forty-seven since 1905. New York was
the pioneer. it's police pension fund hav-
.ing been started in 1857 and its fire.

Entitled to Pension.
IF any class of civil employees is en-
titled to the benefits of retirement
and pension system it must be admitted
that members of city police and fire
departments should be provided for In
that manner Such employees are, in
special sense, the guardians of the lives
and property of the community by
pations are of a class known as extra
hazardous, and they constantly face
the danger of being disabled or killed
in the performance of their duty. only
men of perfect physique and in the full
vgor of manhood are appointed to such
places. and their years of service aver
age much less than in the case of
persons performing clerical or office
work.
The age limit for entering such serv-
ice lies in the great majority of cases
between twentV-one and twenty-five
Years for the minimum, and between
thirty and thirty-siX for the maximum.
In twenty-seven cases the maximum
age is set at forty, and in only seven
teen is 1t more than that in six cases
it is as high as fifty-six years. The
limit most commonly fixed is twenty
lone to thirty-ive years and exists in
fifty-seVen cases. Next comes twenty
one to thirty years, found in eighteen
cases.
"As in practically all civil pension
funds, provision is made for retirement
after a certain number of years service,
and also for retirement for disa bility in
CURED in the service irrespective of the
time served As a service pension Is
conditioned on certain number of
NeaIs employment, and the age limit
for entrance is placed low, a fixed date
for retirement is unnecessary, and in
majority Of these systems none Is
named. In majority of cases where
such age limit is named, 1t Is sixty

There are only eight cases where the
cities pay nothing toward the support
of these funds. while there are forty
eight cases where the men contribute
nothing. though in many Of these cases
benefit associations are maintained to
which the men belong and make small
monthly payments. In forty-ive cities
the council appropriates whatever
money may be necessary. In other
cities a certain portion of the municipal
revenues are allotted for that purpose,
sometimes a percentage of the excise
fees or liquor tax; portion of tax on
foreign fire insurance companies. or
percentage of a State tax levied on pre-

A GREAT SUCCESS
AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM WAS
RENDERED SUNDAY EVENING
WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED
Opera House Crowded to Doors for
St. Patrck's Entertainment

The st. Patrick's Day entertain
ment at the opera house Sunday even
ing for the benefit of ST. AIary's pro-
posed new school, was decided sue
cess. The hall was crowded to the
doors. The program was we'll rem
dered and was highly appreciated by
all present.
The 100 beautiful illustrations of
Ireland were explained by FIR. Hya-
cinth. The illustrated Irish songs,
the. Guartette, solos and recitations
were repeatedly applauded. By spec
ial request. Miss Winifred Webster,
of the state university, favored the
audience with a few choice recita-
tions.
Miss O'Connor, daughter of Jerry
OConnor. general road-master of
the 500 Line, displayed much talent
as an elocutionist in two beautiful
Irish poems. E. Paulus brought
down the house in his character song,
THE Wearing of the Green" Rob-
ert Corbett made hit in his ora
ton, Robert Emmett"
The most interesting feature of the
evening was the lecture given by
Hon. Howard Brown, of Chippewa
Falls. There is no question but that
Attorney Brown, although a young
man, is polished orator, gifted with
a splendid voice, and his lecture,
'Irreligion, the Lucifer of Modern So
ciety,' is a masterpiece of language,
thought and instruction. Expressions
of admiration at Attorney Browns
ability as an orator are still heard.
Towards the close of the program,
Father Bauman thanked the aud
fence for their presence, also thank
ing all who took part in the program,
especially Mr. Nelson, of the Gem"
theatre, and Mr.. Martin, of the
