GOVERNOR SIGNS LAW l CREATING PENSION FOR
 BREMEN AND POLICE

Policemen and firenen of Birming- ham may now perform their duties safe in the knowledge that they and tl.eir families will be cared for in the event they are permanently in- jrred or killed. This was assured Monday night when dispatches from Montgomery announced the signing of an act creating the policemen's s and firemen's relief and pension fund by Governor W. W. Brandon. This bill, which was introduced into the legislature by Representative Lewis Bowen of Jefferson county. provides means for the creation of such a fund.
 According to Assistant Chief of Police Tom Christian, the fund will receive approximately s1.200 a month from recorders court fines and sal ary deductions of men in the depart ments. The act provides that per cent of the recorders court fines shall go to the fund each month and that deduction of l per cent shall be made each month from the salary of each rolice officer and fireman.
 Chief Christian stated that six offi- cers were eligible for retirement at tie present time, but that the retire. ment was optional with them. The act makes no provision for relief in case of illness or temporary absence from duty, MT. Christian said, but it permits the civil service board to retire any member of either the po- lice or fire departments who is permanently injured. It also pro vides relief for the family of an offi- cer killed in line of duty.
