the fund win survive, as at present
maintained, for a longer period.
1.-THE actual time when Federal
assistance will he required, how
ever cannot be determined from
available records, but that the self
sustaining period under the present
plan will be considerably prolonged
over the original estimate cannot
be doubted upon an examination OF
the condition of the fund after
almost five years operation.
$42,OOO.OOO in Fund BY July.
1.-THE amount placed in the fund
during the fiscal year Q92D was
$12,5S6, 3S9.37; the balance at he
end of the year, after all claims
had neen met. was $9,672, S42 03.
This balance has increased to
$40, 5S6,193.19 for the fiscal year 1924.
and it is estimated that on July !,
1925, there VIII be at least $4z,-
000, 900 in the fund, despite the
greater drafts upon it by reason of
the increasing number of annuItants.
Several factors contribute to de-
lay the period when Government
assistance may become necessary.
One of them was the increase. in
salaries in the postal service which
netted many thousands of dollars
annually not previously estimated.
The more recent general increase in
Government salaries provided by
the Reconsideration act will also re-
suit in larger accretions to the re-
tirement fund in the future. 1t is
believed that more than $1,000. 900
will be added to tie fund annually
over the normal increase prior to
the operation Of the reclassification
law on July /, 1924.
1.-THE recent decision Of the Attor,
ney General, bringing employees pos
sessing a classified status, but hold
ing unclassified positions within the
scope Of the retirement act will
likewise result in large additions to
the fund. Practically all such en-
ployes are receiving the higher
rates Of pay and the amount of
their contributions per capital will
be proportionately greater.

ties would relieve actual distress
