PENSIONS TO EMPLOYEES
OF PUBLIC zSERV4GEC0

Chicago. ILL.,, Dec. 2TsEfnployes OF
the Public Service Company of I'LL
nois, which supplies the electric light
ing and public service of half a score
of cities in northern Illinois, will re
ceive a pension in the form of service
annuities hereafter when they have
reached certain ages and have worked
for the company certain periods of
time.
Because of the youth of the com
pany, first payment of the service an
nuities will not begin until March,
1917. That year any employe 65 years
old who has worked 10 years for the
company, will draw an annuity if he
chooses to retire.
There are three classes of employees
provided for. Those at least So years
old, who have worked so years; those
60 years old whose service is 20 years,
and those at least 65 years old, who
have worked Is years. The annuity is
computed as follows:
That consecutive five years service
which paid the highest salary is taken
as a basis. The average yearly pay
for that period is multiplied by the
number of years of service and the an
nuity is 11a per cent of that quotient.
Thus, a man employed Is years and
whose annual salary for his best five
years" averaged $1,000, would receive
$500. The next year he would draw
1878, the next 1896, and so on.
The 30-year employe at the same
salary would be entitled to $40. a
minimum of $500 is established. Ev
cry applicant for the annuity will pre-
sent his case to a board of control con
sisting of employees and directors of
the company.
The annuity plan is drafted largely
after that now in usage in the Com
monwealth Edison company. Samuel
Insul is president of both concerns. A
few details of minor Importance are
different. said ]. II. Gulick, vice presi-
dent of the Public Service concern
and auditor of the Commonwealth Ed
ison company, last night. In the main,
however, the plans are identical.
