Former Commissioner Waldo Is
Accused of Hampering the
Investigators.

The report on the police pension fund
OF the Bureau Of Municipal Research,
made at the request of the Curran alder
manic investigating committee. Will he
made public TO-DAY.
After an Investigation that lasted more
than a year. the Bureau of Municipal
Research announces that the manage
ment of the fund has been unsystematic.
and that the constantly increasing amount
of money paid In pensions each year Is
becoming a burden on the taxpayers that
will soon reach gigantic proportions.
The report says that the laws control
ling the operation of the police pension
fund should be carefully adjusted, the
use OF official discretion In the admins
tration Of the fund should be determined
exactly and some definite plan of fnanc-
ing it's requirements should be adopted.
THE police pension fund exists as
legal fiction only" il is stated in the
summary Of fact-conclusions reached.
The deficiency in 1912 amounted to S,l35,-
1855 p. or 81 per cent of the total amount
needed for the payment of pensions that
year. There are no assets held in re-
serve to provide for the payment of ac-
crued liabilities.
THE legal trustees of the fund have
not even taken the steps to keep the rec
ords and collect the data needed to md
out what are the prospective Obligations
10 be met, or whether there will be as
sets sufficient to meet them, and they do
not now know, and never have known,

liabilities" is another assertion made In
the report.
A reserve o. more than s6j.0oo,0o0 should
now be in the hands OF the trustees OF
the fund. the report continues, which

The amount in pensions payable 10 men
