10000 REPORTS
FURNISHED BOARD
Progress Made in Civil Serv-
ice Survey for Use Under
Retirement Act.

Definite progress is being made by
the Civil Service Commission in its
survey of the personnel of the eXecu-
tive civil service. individual informa-
ton having already been received on
100000 employees, William G. Deming,
president of the commission. an
nounced today.
Under the retirement act the board
or actuaries is required to make 4
valuation of the retirement fund at
least every five years. Upon the Civil
Service Commission is imposed the
duty of furnishing the service records
that form the basis for settlement of
individual cases.
The commission is now assembling
the data needed by the board of ac-
tuarleS for its report and for other
purposes. 1t is necessary to obtain
the names of all employees on the eX-
ecutive civil pay rolls June 80, 1925,
of each year. the total contribution
made by each to the retirement fund.
age for retirement. date of birth.
length of civil and military service and
other data
This information. it is said. also
will make possible intelligent legisla-
tion to perfect the retirement act. A
number of amendments are now under
Endorsement. one increas asing the pres
ent maximum retirement pay above
$50 d year. Other suggestions along
this line include one to lower the age
FOR retirement and authorization of
voluntary retirement after 80 years
of service.
June so there were 5641lS persons
in the executive civil service. About
100000 of them come within the pro
visions of the retirement act. To date
the civil Service Commission has re-
cetVed individual information on lsO.-
GOO employees. OF these l20 900 have
been audited and inspected and 100 900
have been sent To the Bureau of the
Census for tabulation.
The retirement law has operate ed
thus far without drawing upon the
Federal Treasury. except for small ad.
mlniStrative expenses. The deduction
OF 2ia per cent from salaries has
ainaSSed Il surplus of more than $40
100000 above the amount of annuitieS
paid, Mr.. Deming reported. This con
clifton, however, cannot last indeti-
nitelN he said. as indicated by the fact
that 1000 persons retired August p,
1920. had contributed only a few dol
lars each TO the retirement fund.
This condition. it Is said, will grow
considerably as retfrements increase.

Our population is steadily increas-

10 or 10 years we probably shall reach
rhe stage where greater agricultural
production will be needed. What we
should do now is to make plans, lay
out a policy. for the time when further
reclamation will be needed. In deter
mining upon such a policy we must
note the mistakes of the past and
carefully avoid making them in the
future.
Furthermore. a sound policy will
not consider reclamation as stand
ing by itself. but will correlate IL
with other policies. For example, the
development of an inland waterway
system, which | trust will begin in
the near future, will necessarily,
through staightening channels and

productive agricultural soil.
