TODAY'S ANSWER


emit setup Of the Pension propos-
al the plan would be self-suffi-
Client unless in case Of emer-
gency.
But, before we continue, Il h
perhaps best that we define the
word emergency" as applied to
the pension proposal.
OF course you understand that
under the clauses Of the amend
ment each employe Of the two
departments would be required
to deposit four per cent Of his
monthly earnings In fund set
aside for pensions. Under the
plan-which provides that NO
payments be made until Oct. I,
1914, three years after the
amendment would 90 into effect
"a total Of some $4,000 woull
be In that fund before any pay
ments could be made.
The only possible way IN
emergency" could arise, Of
course, would be through the
depletion Of that fund. This
could occur only because the
payments exceeded the amount
coming into the fund, which
seems highly unlikely.
However, It COULD happen.
II q number Of the depart
ment members should be dis
ab1ed or killed In the line Of
duty within Z brief period, then
Il u possible that the drain ON
the fund would be too great.
II %, then q tax Of three
tenth mills would be levied
on all taxable property In the
city. However, II 10 well 70 re-
member that three tenths mills
would come 70 only % cents per
thousand dollars Of property.
A tax Of this sort would raise
over $1,000, according TO the
1910 city property valuation Of
$4,000, 600.
So, II b highly probable that
even In . case Of emergency"
the tax levy would be needed
for but one year.
Backers Of the plan maintain
that the possibility Of IN emer-
gency arising are exceedingly
slim.
Az to your second question,
the writer has seen similar pen
sion plans work In numerous
cities throughout the Midwest
without costing the tax-payers

Captain and First Officer
OF Manhattan Suspended

The captain and first officer who
were in charge of the liner Manhat-
tan when she went aground near
Lake North, Fla, on January II,
were temporarily deprived of their
masters licenses today after being
found guilty of negligence
Comdr. R. S. Field of the Marine
Inspection Bureau ordered the Ii
cense of Capt. George v. Richard
son suspended for eight months,
and that of First Officer Joseph H.
Burger suspended for one month.
An investigating board had sug-
geSted one-year suspension for
Capt. Richardson and a 60-day
suspension for Mr.. Burger. 1t re-
ported the Manhattan, one of the
largest American liners, had suf-
fered S1,200,000 damage.
In finding the two officers were
negligent, Comdr. Field said the
ship was heading into shallow water
and could have been saved if the
captain had changed the course.
He held that Mr.. Burger should have
realized the danger and should have
warned the captain.
Comdr. Field modified the sus-
pensions recommended by the inves-
tigative board. he said, because of
the prior good records of the two
