PRESENT PENSIONS TO BE UNCHANGED From Page Three sion of the general assembly may rush the retirement of a number persons, now eligible, but still in service. In so far as the police and fire department Is concerned, those statements are not founded on facts. "I have the utmost confidence in the personnel of the department which I represent.

I know the men would not, under any consideration, do anything against their Interests. Pension System Unsound "The board of commissioners had this meeting with policemen and firemen to discuss how best the pension law could be strengthened to insure a sound basis for the future. Under the present pension setup it is only a question of time until the whole plan will lose its value. I am satisfied that the personnel of the department understands the situation. I have had any number of men in the department tell me they were anxious to have the pension law placed on a sound, workable basis so they would be protected in the future.

"It is the intention of the department to study and thoroughly discuss with the personnel of the police and fire department the best method to follow, after Mr. Buck (George R. Buck, consulting actuary of New York), who is making a survey for the education de partment, makes his recommendations. "I will not sanction changing the length of service in the fire and police department from 25 to 30 years. I realize the fireman or the policeman has given the best part of.

his. life to the city after 23 years' service, considering the hazardous duties he is required to perform in line of service." Morrison's Statement Morrison's statement follows: 'The pension systems of the city id county are aDDarentlv nnt and economically sound at the present time and will probably require some changes in order to protect the persons who are contributing and to see that their persion payments will actually benefit them. It may or may not be necessary to raise the amount being contributed by employe and employer. "These matters will be discussed fully with the aid of sound actuarial advice. However, regarding employes who have served the allotted time and are eligible for retirement, I wish to state that it it my opinion that a contractual relationship now exists and should be protected, regardless of what other changes might be necessary.

"Whatever age limit may be selected in the future, I will advocate that those now eligible for retirement be protected in the new plan. If the contract that now exists ia economically unsound, it, nevertheless, is a contract, and employes who have fulfilled their part of the contract have every right to expect the pension authorities to fulfill their part. "I will do everything In my pow-f tht these rights are pro- 'SPRING GREEN' OFFERING BY SENIORS AT CITY HIGH 'Spring Green" 1944 edition of the senior class Iay, in three acts, was presented last night In the Chattanooga High School audito- num.

to set aside ICC orders. Georgia, they stated, took a very active part in recent ICC hearings on cases involving sectional differences in freight rates. No decision has been announced by the ICC. "Apparently impatient with the commission, obviously undertaking to by-pass it," the brief said, "Georgia is seeking to vindicate in this court the very position it has taken in those XICC proceedings and to have this court do the commission's work which the commission is perfectly competent to do, has exclusive authority to do, and doubtless will do." The Supreme Court will hear argument next month on the question whether it should grant Georgia a hearing on its complaint. GEORGIANS TO ASK BAN FOR POLL TAX Special to The Chattanooga Timet.
