On the matter OF pensions, the report
says: The personnel is mainly of young
active men, but a number of members
are of an age and length of service which
merit retirement The provisions for pen
sions are less than in any other large
city: more liberal pensions and an age
for compulsory retirement would improve
the service. Fire losses in the District
