OUTLINES BILL FOR BENEFIT
or STATE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Charles Taylor President of Newark Board of Education
at Work on Legislative Measure-Reforns in Teachers
Retirement Fund Be Pr opposed at the Coming Session.

The provisions Endorsed by Mr.
Taylor in the bill that will be intro
duced, provide that graduated
scale be used in the distribution of
moneys collected in this manner
Under the proposed method a teacher
who pays her two per cent. and is
taken i'll and cannot teach any
ment pension and paid according to
the length Of time served.
I'm this way, care will be taken of
everyone. said Mr. Taylor. ~ have
seen good many teachers stricken
after teaching five and ten years,
and although they had paid into the
retirement fund, they did not receive
pension because they had not
served twenty years in the profession.
II do not consider the present law
fair. Under the new provision a
teacher will be paid Just what she
is worth AND will receive, a pro rata
retirement fund as she fully de-
serves
The State fund provides that a
teacher engaged for more than
thirty-tive years is eligible to a pen
sion. This will be combined with
the retirement fund if the provisions
advocated become a law.
Mr.. Taylor stated that under the
present laws a teacher can make
more money by retiring after thirty
five years OF service than If she re-
NAMED in active duty. After twenty
years the teachers retirement fund
is available and then when an in
structor serves her thirty five years
the State steps in and gives an adj
ditional pension These will be COM
bined, according to the proposed law.

To combine the teachers retire
rnent fund with the State teachers
pension fund and place them on a
graduated scale are some of the
features of a bill to be introduced
at the coming session of the Legis-
lature. President Charles p Taylor,
of The Board of Education, is father
of the bill that will be introduced
Inv the Association of State School
authorities. Mr.. Taylor is working
an the bill and within q short time
a conference will be held with the
legislative committee appointed to
arrange for the introduction of bills.
The features as outlined by Mr..
Taylor will be of great benefit to
the teaching body. At the present
time many complaints have been
heard relative to the system employed
in the collection and distribution of
the money used for the teachers re-
tirement fund.
Under the present system the
teachers are taxed two per cent. of
their annual salary for the retire
rnent fund To derive any benefit
from this tax, q teacher must serve
al least twenty years. This Mr.. Tay-
lor declares to be unfair, He states
that the average life of a teacher,
according to statistics, is about
seven years. Under the present sys-
tenn a teacher might pay into the
fund for nineteen years and then be
taken i'll and be rendered useless in
her profession. yet she would not
get amy benefit from the retirement
fund.

OYSTER DEMAND HEAVY.
Run Boats Being Towed Instead of
Depending Upon Wind.

So heavy is the demand for oysters
on the Washington market that the
masters of the oyster run boats have
resumed towing to and fro mthe oys-,
ter taking grounds instead of depend
ing upon the wind or, in its absence,
upon their power boats. to move up and
down the river. Early in the week the
tug James o. Carter left here with
light oyster boats in tow and returned
with loaded ones. and last night again
left here with four or five light oyster
runners for Blakistones Island, and Is
expected to arrive here this afternoon
or tonight with several loaded boats
that will be in time for the Sunday
and the early-in -the-week market.
Those in touch with the oyster market
say more than double the quantity of
oysters has been used here this year
up to this time than was used in the
corresponding period of several years
past. The run boats are getting good
living prices for the stock they bring
here.

TO INCREASE NUMBER
Of CROSSINGS POLICE
Commissioners Said to Contemplate
Making Appointments in the
Near Future.

Three or possibly five additional po-
licemen. it is understood. are to be
appointed by the Commissioners to tho
crossing police force.
The Commissioners recently sought
to employ substitute special policemen.
but the controller OF the Treasury de-
cided that the board had no authority to
do so. It was said, however, they can
employ as many men on the regular
street crossing force, as in their opin-
ion. are needed.
When it was reported that the Com
missioners were contemplating the in
crease of the force, the street railway
companies, which pay the salaries of
the crossing policemen, opposed it.
Investigation Ordered.
The Commissioners have, however.
instructed Alonzo Tweedale, auditor of
the District, to make an investigation
to determine the percentage of time five
substitutes, who were working re-
Gently. have been on duty.
It is stated that if it develops that
the men were employed on an average
of fifteen days a month, three addi-
tional men will be appointed to the
force, but if the investigation dis
closes that they gave service during
practically the entire month, five prob
ably will be appointed.
By an act of Congress of February
Is. 1912, the street crossing policemen
were granted thirty days sick leave
and twenty days annual leave. Their
salaries range from SIS to 500 a
month.
Proposed Transfer to Regular Force.
Efforts have also been made to have
the street crossing policemen and their
salaries included in the regular Dis
trict appropriation bill and thus make
them members of the metropolitan
police force. Such a bill was intro
duced in Congress, but was unfavorably
reported at the hands of the Commits
sioners, who contended that the cross
ing policemen have not contributed to
the police pension fund and also that
they have not been subjected to as
severe physical tests as members of
the regular force.
