WANT NO CHANGE IN

site Of the present structure as posi-
HE. The Commissioners opinion was
forwarded as result of a hearing held
at the District Building last week. at
which residents OF Georgetown and Vir-
ginia expressed their views as to where
the new bridge should be located. Sec
rotary Baker will embOdy the Commits
siOners' opinion in a report which he is
preparing to send to Congress In refer

D. c. HEADS FOR
Pension Scheme
Commissioners Report Favor
ably on Cary Bill, Aiding
Police and Firemen.
PLAN NOW INADEQUATE
Under Proposed Law Employees Would
Be Retired After twenty-five
Years of Service.

The Commissioners yesterday sent to-
Congress a favorable report on the Cary
bill, providing for the establishment OF
a new pension system for the police and
FIRE departments OF the District. The
Commissioners characterize the present
system under which police court fines
and doE-tax revenues must be depended
on to pay pensions, as inadequate. They
again call the attention of Congress to
the fact that there is now more than
$4,000 due the pensioners for the past
five years.
The Cary bill provides that instead OF
using police court fines and dog-taX reve-
nues, the collector Of taxes shall from
time to time cover into the Treasury
to the credit Of the joint pension fund
Of the two departments such sums as
may be necessary to meet the pension
ron.
The fremen and policemen now pay 81
OF their salary into the pension fund ev-
cry month. Under the Cary bill ILL.,
per cent of their salary would be re-
quiTed OF each man.
Retirement Provided.
Under the present law the Commits
siOneTs may retire a man permanently
disabled in line of duty Under the Cary
bill each man would be retired after
twenty-five years of service. Men who
have reached the age of so years could
be retired by the Commissioners in their
discretion under the Cary bill.
The Cary bill fixes a maximum pen
sion of One-half the salary being re-
CCived at the time Of retirement, with
maximum allowances of 500 a month for
captains in the fire department and lieu
tenants in the police department; $50 a
month for privates; so a month for
widows: 81 a month for children under
Is years Of age. and $50 A month for
family allowances. In conclusion the
Commissioners say:
The Commissioners believe that the
present pension system for the officers
and members OF the police and fire de-
partmeuts is inadequate and ineffec-
tive to carry out the purposes for which
il was created. and that the results are
injurious to the morals and efficiency Of
the two departments mentioned besides
ut times inhicting injustiCes and hard
ship upon the benefciaries. The Com
missioDers. therefore. strongly urge and
recommend the enactment of the bill
into law"
