Per diem employees of the District
who wish TO receive credit for approx
r1ateiy 10 years Of service, between Au-
gust 1920, and January /, 1881. in con-
nection with calculating their retire.
nent pay, will be compelled TO pay in
cash sum equivalent to the retirement
deductions from the pay OF regular an
nual employees during those years, plus
per cent interest compounded semi
annually, District Auditor Daniel J.
Donovan ruled yesterday.
This was in accord with the situation
as previously understood at the District
Building, but the ruling was made spe-
cifcally in reference to employees of the
Districts garbage reduction plant at
Cherry Hill, Va. They had appealed
for relief to Senator Carter Glass, Dem
ocrat of Virginia.
During the interval between the two
dates mentioned, per diem employees
did not receive the same retirement
benefits as the regular Salaried en-
ployes, and consequently no retirement
deductions were made from their pay.
Later by act OF Congress, followed by
regulation Of the District Commits
sioners effective last January !. the per
diem employees were made eligible
1T will be noted from the foregoing
section" Mr.. Donovan wrote, that
should per diem employees not purchase
credit for the service between August
!, 1920, and January !, 1881, they can
not receive credit for any service rem
dered within that period. but failure TO
purchase credit for that period does not
deprive the employees Of credit for any
