Bigger Pensions
Provided; Bridge
Proposal Okoyed
By ALEX r. PRESTON

A House District subcommittee
today cleared a liberalized re.
tirement and death benefit bill
for Washington police and fire.
men.
1t also approved and sent to
the full District committee a
measure-already passed by the
Senate-requiring the District to
join Maryland and Virginia in
maintaining the Woodrow Will
son Bridge which has been
authorized at Jones Point in
Alexandria.
The police and firemen's re.
tirement bill approved was that
Of Subcommittee Chairman Da.
Wis, Democrat Of Georgia. It
carried an important amend
ment. however.
Under the original proposal,
pensions would have been based
on 2 per cent of the salary ut
the time Of retirement.
Under the revision, a retired
policeman or fireman would re-
ceive an annuity based on 2 per
cent Of his salary for the first
20 years of service and 8 per
cent after 20 years.
Seen as Incentive
In several public hearings held
by both House and Senate Dis
trict subcommittee, it was ar
gued by the District Police and
Firemens associations that the
higher annuity after 20 years
would serve as an incentive for
men to remain on the force
rather than seek early retirement.
The amendment was drawn
from a second police and fire.
mems retirement bill which had
been sponsored by the organiza-
tons Of the two services. It has
been estimated the provision
would cost the District about
$126,6 more a year.
This would be offset, it was
testified, by the savings in train
ing new recruits to replace men
who otherwise may have re.
tired after 20 years Of service.
Minimum Age Set
One other change, approved
by the District Commissioners.
was incorporated by the Davis
subcommittee and conforms with
a version approved last week by
q Senate District subcommittee,
1t sets up a minimum age Of
SO years for retirement.
The Woodrow Wilson Bridge
maintenance bill is sponsored
by Senator Beall. Republican Of
Maryland.
The District last January
agreed to share in the estimated
$50. 900 annual cost Of operat-
ing the bridge after Maryland
let 1t be known that it could
not legally appropriate funds for

unless the Jurisdiction partici.
lpated in the cost.
THE bridge across the Potomac
would have one approach in
Alexandra, Va, and the other
in Prince Georges County, Md.
1t win serve as a traffic bypass
for Washington and for a time
the District Commissioners re-
fused to contribute toward the
annual upkeep because there
will be no direct connection to
the span from Washington. The
bridge crosses several hundred
feet Of water within the Dis.
