6" » PENSION DEDUCTION ' CHANGE PROPOSED Donovan Suggests Police and Firemen Contribute 3 1-2 Pct. of Salaries. Consideration is being given by the Commissioners to a plan laid before them by District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan for increasing the deduc- tions from the salaries of policemen and firemen for their pension fund from 2% to 8% per cent. The amount so deducted would be re- funded to policemen and firemen who leave the service prior to the age of retirement. In the case of Government em- ployes and school teachers the de- ductions are refunded in similar cases with compound interest at 4 per cent. It is not proposed, however, to pay Interest on the refunds to policemen and firemen. At present they do not even receive the amounts deducted. Congressional legislation will be necessary to make the change and no action on the auditor’s plap is likely to be taken until after it has been studied thoroughly by the Com- missloners. “School teachers pay into their re- tirement fund on a strict life insur- ance basls, calculated, among other factors, on their age when entering public employment, some of them be- ing subject to deductions as high as 8 per cent of their salaries.” said Audi- tor Donovan. “Government em- ployes pay 313 per cent. “Not only do the policemen and firemen pay less, but they receive other benefits; the teachers and the Federal employes do not. These are raedical services whenever they are sick or injured and hospital and other items when injured or taken ill in the line of duty. “The public treasury pays only 40 per cent of the annual accumulation of the teachers’ retirement fund and 80 per cent of that of the Federal employes. But the public pays 80 per cent of the policemen's and fire- men’s fund. Burden Being Increased. “The size of the total paid out of the fund each year is increasing this burden on the taxpayers every 12 months. Last year the total was $545.- 000. This vear it will equal $575.000. We estimate that it will take $600,000 the next fiscal year. Of this the po- licemen and firemen have contributed only approximately $110,000. The in- crease now proposed will increase thefr contribution only $45,000 and will change the ratio to 28 per cent contributed by them and 72 per cent by the taxpayers. “I believe it would be a more equit- eble arrangement to make the con- tributions of the employes these two departments the same as those of the Government employes, and, in return, grant them the same refunds in case they fail to continue in the service long enough to become beneficiaries of the fund, with this exception, that there is mnot at present a large enough fund established to pay in- terest on the refunds.” ROCKVILLE. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 8 (Special).—It is estimated that some- thing like 1,200 new voters were en- rolled at the sittings of the officers of registration for the county vesterday. | in_the City Clul PIONEER WILL ADDRESS ELECTRIC LEAGUE HERE Samuel Adams Chase, Noted Lec- turer in His Field, to Speak at Session Tomorrow Night.
