N ew Pension
Plan TO Be
Considered
Mayor Suggests
Provision Under
Home Rule

City employees were told We'd
nesdsy that this city council will
not approve a pension and retire
ment plan for city employees based
on the existing state law. which
is the only enabling act for gen.
eral application of pensions to city
employees.
However, the council through
Mayor Cain as spokesman, told
representatives OF the employe
groups that Corporation Counsel
Carothers was being instructed to
draw up a home rule" pension
and retirement plan ordinance to
be presented as early as possible.
Cain declared the council APP
peared unanimous in its unwill-
ingness to authorize a pension
plan which must, il IL followed
the state law, provide for certain
unsound bases In administration.
Also. it was generally felt. he
said, that the council could not
proceed with q pension plan uader

ment TO go before the next legis-
lature TO obtain suggested amend.
ments.
Cain spoke strongly for home
rule plan in which Tacoma en-
ployes and Tacoma city officials,
directly responsible to the people,
would be in full control OF ad-
ministration.
Principal points of difference be-
tween the council and the en-
ployes concerned the retiremen,

OF interest which pension funds are
required to earn, percent under

The councils action in perman-

used to be a champion in that
State which nowadays produces so
many fine players, men like Byron

One of his first rounds over a

against Roger Peacock when Roger

a mile and playing golf like ma

discovered in the grillroom shaking
his head.
whats wrong. Gene?" some one
asked.
That Peacock" grinned Pittman.
Hes a Bots d. Arc stump"
No one knew what that was, and
they asked Gene. Tell you" said
Gene Down in Texas, before the
days of wire fences, the cattlemen
used to fence in their ranges with
what you folks call Usage orange
hedges. You have one of those
hedges along the fifteenth fairway.
Then, after wire fences came in,
they tried to cut down the hedges.
Wire was cheaper and better.
They found that they couldn't
cut the wood with an ak or a saw
They couldn't burn 1t, and so they
let it stay. Down our way whenever
anything is really tough they say
it's Bots d. Arc stump. That's that
Peacock. He's Bots d. Arc stump.
There are folks around Congress
sional and some of the other clubs
who suspect that little Gene is
something of hard man himself
If he hasn't all the attributes of a
"Bois d. Arc" stump, he has most
of them. So don't think that be-
cause he can't knock the ball out OF
sight and doesn't hit those scream
ing iron shots that he's a pushover
He has all the attributes of those
Texas stumps.
