Strings and Sullivan's positions
are none too we'll intrenched.. In num-
bers also they are pitifully weak as
Gen. Washington has left the placing
of the regiments largely to Gen. Put
nam, and 1t is feared that the latter
may have spread out his troops along
| too long line, considering the num-
Der against him and the distance from
the camp.
But, what is still worse, Jamaica
Pass, five miles east of Flatbush, is
undefended. The 10000 Britishers
who have set off tonight with only
their field kits, leaving baggage and
camp equipment behind, are headed
for Jamaica Pass. They will find
there no opposition. They have ample
time before morning to reach Jamaica
Pass, turn westward on Jamaica Road,
and cut between the American camp
and the advance lines of Stirling and
Sullivan, and separate the latter from
their base.
The Americans have no cavalry
Their only men who can serve as
mounted scouts are the few officers
who happen to have horses. In artil-
lery, their front lines have six small
cannons against 40.

/ CHANGE PROPOSED
Donovan Suggests Police and
/ Firemen Contribute 3 IL
[ Pct. of Salaries.

Consideration is being given by the
Commissioners to a plan laid before
them by District Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan for increasing the deduc'
tions from the salaries Of policemen
and flremen for their pension fund
from 2h to Sh per cent. The
amount so deducted would be re-
funded to policemen and tiremen
who leave the service prior to the
age of retirement.
In the case of Government en-
ployes and school teachers the de-
ductions are refunded in similar
cases with compound interest at per
cent. It is not proposed, however,
to pay interest on the refunds TO
policemen and f1remen. At present
they do not even receive the amounts
deducted.
Congressional legislation will be
necessary to make the change ana
no action on the auditors p!an Is
likely to be taken until after 1t has
been studied thoroughly by the Com
missioners.
School teachers pay into their re-
tirement fund on a strict life insur-
Rnce basis, calculated, among other
factors, on their age when entering
public employment, some of them be-
ing subject to deductions as high as S
per cent of their salaries" said Audi
tor Donovan. Government en-
ployes pay 3Ia per cent.
mot only do the policemen and
nremen pay less, but they receive
other benefits: the teachers and the
Federal employees do not. These are
xx-hn
sick or injured and hospital and other
items when injured or taken i'll in
the line of duty.
The public treasury pays only Az
per cent of the annual accumulation
of the teachers retirement fund and
30 per cent of that of the Federal
employees But the public pays so
per cent of the policemens and fire
mems fund.
Burden Being Increased.
1.-THE size of the total paid out Of
the fund each year Is increasing this
burden on the taxpayers every II
months. Last year the total was $545,-
600. This year 1t will equal S575, 900.
We estimate that it will take 100000
the next fiscal year. OF this the po-
licemen and firemen have contributed
only approximately $4,000. The in
crease now proposed will increase
their contribution only $45,000 and
will change the ratio to % per cent
contributed by them and 72 per cent
by the taxpayers.
'I believe 1t would be a more equit-
able arrangement to make the con-
tributions Of the employees these two
departments the same as those of the
Government employees, and, in return.
grant them the same refunds in case
they fail to continue in the service
long enough to become beneficiaries Of
the fund, with this exception, that
there is not at present a large
enough fund established to pay in
tereSt on the refunds"
