J. S. Ellingson, City Attor- ney J. Lancelot Lester and Civil \Service Executive Secretary Lee H. Goddard was appointéd to ‘draw up the necessary legisia- tion. The action came after Willi V. Albury, assistant state's at- torney, 25th Judicial District, ad- dressed’ the Commission and pleaded for a retirement, plan for city employes.

Lester protested such an early deadline, saying that he knew little or nothing about the sub- ject, which would require detail. ed study. He said it was a matter Primarily for an expert on gov- ernment. Ellingsort said he had four or five retirement plans be- ing used by other cities but that these would all require careful study. At this point, Goddard volun- teered to serve, having had ex- perience ir that line and Cartes -| ell changed his motion to name Goddard and Ellingson along with Lester to draw up the retirement plan.
