 Police Pension Fund.
 The matter of the continuance of the Police Pension fund was brought up and to an address to the members of the ouncil Mayor Lerou said in part: I wish at this time to bring to the at- tention of the council the matter of the Police Pension fund The time has ar- rived when some action should be taken as to the future of this fund as under the present conditions the fund will be- come exhausted in three years The source which has maintained this fund up to the present time has been per cent of the license money received by th county commissioners. With no rev enue from this source, the fund is at a standstill as far as income is concern ed.
 I believe that when this pension fund was established. those who were to re- ceive benefits from same should have been called upon to contribute g certain percent of their wages thereto Had this been done for the period of about twelve years, or the length of time this fund las been established. We would now have had quite a substantial amount" As it is, tnis fund amounts at the present time to approximately $10 0,50a and should any portion of the license money l received from the county commissioner ] for the year 1913. which has alrea dy been paid into this fund. have to be re- l turned, it would leave the amount con. siderably under S10.000
 At the present time. there are five eX-members of the police force receiving the benefits of this fund amounting te l $2700 per year

This with gift. which the department has received from 1 time to time, has made this well es- tablished fund already. Also, there are 1 no nn1bars drawing on this fund l have taken the matter up with tht heads oL the police department and stat l cu lo tISln lHdl 1 0elleNe that they l should pay something into this fund ant 1 l received notice a few days ago tha- 1 they were willing to contribute ? ne, | cent. of their pay.
