 Proposed h. TaImud Torah Assn. Action toward regular system of | payment by the members of the police department to the police pension fund will be among the matters which the new city council will discuss at its first meeting next week. The fund has been in operation for several years and heretofore, the money has been obtained by an assessment of 1 ! per cent on the liquor license receipts. With the Nolstead act in force, no 1 liquor license fees arc obtainablo. so il new means of financing the pension i fund is being discussed. The latest proposition is to have the members { Of the force contribute small sum out of their salary each week to swell the eoffers Of the fund. The depart mcnt members were given an increase of salary of 22la cents a day recently i by the council and the present pro position is 10 have tho men lay by 10 per cent of their salary toward the pension. This will mean about 70 cents week for each man.
 Cop" Man, Years l Chief Of Police Ernest T. Bclden rounded out aS years as a member of ' the police force this week as on Janu- ary I, 1896 he became supcrnumer- ary of tho local department. year later he was assigned 10 the regular i force, where he spent several years and within a short time rose from the | ranks 10 tho head of the organization. During his regime as an officer, he has seen the little town on the banks Of the Pcauabuck grow into a hustling 1 city and his department has increased 1 from a handful of men to force of about 3n members.
 Captain Thomas F. Guckin is fol- lowing close on the heels of Chief I lsolden in the point Of service e a guardian of the law as he completed 2S years Of active service in Noycm- bcr.
