POLICE PENSION
BILLS NEXT WEEK
Harrisburg Will Be Much Inter-
ested in Measures on Which
Lawmakers viii Act

Three bills affecting the pensioning
of employees of cities of the state will
be up before the Legislature for con-
Sideration next week. Two are on
the third reading calendar of the
House and one on the first reading cal
endar of the Senate. Important
changes have been made in all of the
measures since their introduction.
The Dunn bill, providing pensions
for employees not now under pension
funds in the various cities, has been
reported from the Senate committee
on municil,l affairs entirely rewritten.
The bill as passed by the House COM
PEELED cities of the first and second
class to set aside a sum not to exceed
one-half of l per cent. of all taxes
for municipal pension fund. The
Senate amends this clause to read:
mot less than one-half of l per cent.
nor more than per cent of all taxes.
The original bill also provides that
no employe under so years of age
would be pensioned unless totally dis
abled. The Senate amendments fix
this age at SO years, with the proviso
that an employe who has served
twenty years may retire when less
than So, but his pension will not begin
until he reaches that age. The Sen
ate also places a limit of 500 a month
on pensions. The original bill pro-
Nldtu llltll ttLCI
should be paid through the departm
in which he had been employed. The
Senate gives each city the right to de-
termine how the pensions are to be
paid.
The Dunn bill, which provided that
10 per cent. of the State liquor license
fees should be paid to police pension
funds of first class cities, has been
amended to include second class cities
and prOVideS that fhara shall he maid
into the police pension funds of such
cities . per cent. of the proportion of
liquor licenses returned to such cities.
This bill comes up for final passage in
the House Monday night.
The Cox bill. which comes up for
final passage in the House Monday
night also. is a revenue producer for
police pension funds. 1t applies, how
ever, to all cities of the State. The
bill provides that 2 per cent of all
license fees paid into the city treasury
shall go to police pension funds.
