 Many Drawing Pensions.
 At present a mparatively large number of retired policemen are drawing pensions from the depart ment fund set aside for the purpose towards the police pension fund, and for the past year if has been gener- ally understood that the cash was running low. The retirement of Cap tains Hall and Blansfield will mean a great strain on the police treasury, bat this fact was probably taken into consideration by the commissioners before they decided to remove the men.
 Captain Philip T. Blansfield, now in charge of the Fourth precinct, has served as a member of the police de- pertinent for nearly 29 years, and is still an active and valued member of the force. He was appointed patrol ed to the grade of sergeant, Novem- Der 24, 1908. On April 1, 1913, Blansfieid was advanced to the rank Cf lieutenant and became captain June i, 1916. During his career as policeman, Captain Blansfield has served efficiently in all of the pre- cincts of the city.
 Captain Peter H. Halls record in 9cngth of service is but one year shorter than that of Blansfield's. He was appointed as a patrolman on June 3. 1893. He attained the rank of sergeant July 15, 1910, and was made a lieutenant Jan. l5, 1917. Fol lowing the death of the late Captain George B. Coley, Hall was promoted 10 the rank of captain, Feb. 10, 1920
