Value of a wholesale retirement
system for Tacoma's city employees
depends upon what the city can
gain by adopting the plan.
That was the decision OF con.
sulting experts whose report after
an analysis OF the proposal was re-
vealed Friday by Mayor J. J. Kauf-
man.
II the system had been put into
effect on July I. 1899. the cost to
the public would have been about
SOL 900, or So per cent of the pres
ent payroll. for the first year. the
report stated.
The report was made by the
firm of Coates and Herfurth. con-
mlting actusries with headquar-
ters in San Francisco.
Contributory Basis
II was the reply 10 the proposal
for retirement and pension sys-
tenn as provided by the state legis-
lature In 1899. Under the hw's
terms. the system would operate
on a contributory basis. Each en-
ploye benefiting would contribute
percentage Of his salary. which
would be matched by an equal
amount from the city.
Investment OF the fund would
create the source for payment OF
benefits after retirement on ths
basis Of service or disability.
Costs for prior service and DIS
ability are subject to considerable
fluctuation." the report said. but
the first.year estimate as Of July
/. 1899 has been PLACID at ssi 900
and the eleventh-year estimate at
$40 900, which would be close to
the maximum.
