The civil suit was originally
started by the Board of Health
workers, represented by R. M.
Herman. Employees Of the other
organizations joined in the action.
The pension systems Of both the
city and county were authorized by
acts OF the last term Of the state
legislature, and both began opera
ton July l. 1t was several months
later that the Board Of Health
workers found they were not COW
cred under either the city or coun-
ty systems.
State Attorney General Harry
McMullans Office ruled several
months ago that the Board of
Health workers were eligible for
coverage, and On the basis OF his
opinion the county government
agreed to allow participation of the
jointly operated institution. The
City Pension board, composed Of
Edgar L. Vow, Richard S. Rogers,
and j. r. Benson, however, refus-
ed to accept McMullan's decision,
and declared that insufficient
funds were appropriated in the
city's budgets to take care Of the
extra pension load.
1t is understood that several en-
ployes of the Board of Health an
ticipate retirem ent as soon as the
matter of whether they are enti-
tied to pensions has been finally
