As Many Failures Reported Police and Firemen Bfll Held City Opposes Pension Hikes A bill increasing pension benefits for Lincoln police and firemen was held following a hearing before the labor and public welfare committee during which city officials registered opposition to the increased benefits. LB639, introduced by Sen. Marvin Stromer of Lincoln, would raise benefits from $135 a month retirement to of the last pay but Lincoln Atty. Robert Guenzel will offer amendments to make this of the average pay of their last 5 years of employment. Amendments would also increase the base pay on which contributions are levied from $3,600 to $4,800 a year.

The bill hikes contributions from 4 to the highest individual contribution of state systems, proponents noted. Speaking against the measure were City Atty. Ralph Nelson, City Finance Director James Mallon and Leo Bartunek. Nelson argued there has not been time for an actuarial study of the amended bill to determine its co.st to the city. Actuarial study of the original bill showed il than he said.

is in the position of having two city the locally-elected one which determines all the details of the fire and police departments, and the Legislature, which determines hours and retirement for he said. Mallon told the committee the city now has a $6.5 million pension liability, almo.st as much as the bonded indebtedness of the city. He outlined the history of pensions in the city from the first one in 1895 to the present. This year, he said, pension costs will be $303,2256 or of the total city taxes levied. Barlunek a the bill bypasses the local governing body which should determine this as it does other phases of operations of these departments.

But Stromer countered that the Legislature is the only place for them to come for relief. He objected to impressions that he represents the feeling of Lincoln citizens. Stromer said 27 citizens contacted him after stories on the bill were published and favored increased pensions for these departments. Guenzel, speaking for Lincoln police, said only 4 of 73 cities size in the nation have fixed amount pensions and only one, Columbus, is lower than the $135 Lincoln figure. Also speaking for the bill were Atty.

David Tews for the Lincoln Firefighters Floyd Short, its president, and Lincoln Police Chief Jovseph Carroll. Carroll said the increased cost is not false economy and would be offset by retaining trained personnel rather than continuing the high rate of turnover in the police department. Acting Mayor D. L. Tyrrell and 4 members of the council Boosalis, Lloyd Hinkley, and Robert Fulton sat in on the hearing but did not testify.

The committee heard and advanced 3 other non-controversial bills, all by 4-0 votes. Advanced were: LBS6.3, alldwlnf cities to psy the expenses to fire school of any number of firemen it authorizes rather than only one now authorized by law. LB664, allowing firemen to burn buildings for training purposes after receiving a permit from the state fire marshal. clarifying provisions of the Manpower Training Act to allow trainees to continue their training before they have to accept a job offer.
