TEACHERS TO GET PENSIONS
Prendcrgast Assures the Legally Re-
tired Of Full Pay.

Denying many statements of'Presi-
dent Churchill in reference to the
bankruptcy of the teachcrs's pension
fund, Controller Prendergast said that
the retired teachers. with the excep-
ton of those whose retirements seem
to be illegal, will receive the full
amount Of their pensions for August.
"This is made possible" he explains,
because the Board of Education has
anticipated by some six weeks the
usual time for the payment of certain
moneys into the fund. But this result
ias been accomplished at the sacrifice
of the allowance for September. which
will be only S33 1000, about one-third
Of the normal payroll.
The Controller declared that he, as
head of the finance department, was
simply the agent of the Board of Ed
ucation in handling the fund.
