Wolo Examiners Perisions

Ten field examiners for the State Board of Accounts who are over 70 years of age will be retired’ on a pension July 1, if Governor Schricker signs a bill passed yesterday by the Senate. The measure, supported by both parties in both houses, establishes fa pension system for the Accounts Board, permitting examiners to retire

on a pension at the age of 65 or after 25 years’ service.

compulsory -at the age of 70. This is the second pension system * to be set up for a State Department. The State Police Department already has one. Several Senators opposed the bill on fina] passage in the Senate yesterday on the grounds that it tended to establish a “bad precedent.” Why Not the Farmers?

“Why shouldn’t we set up a pension system for us broken down farmers?” asked Senator Howard V. Johnson (R. Mooresville). “Every other state department will soon be asking for a pension system, too,” commented Senator Roger Phillips (D. New Albany). The measure provides that the pension amount shall be calculated on a basis of $4 a month for each year of service for those retiring at the age of 65 or over. Thus, a 65-year-old man who retired after 25 years of service would - get a. pension of $100 a month, The maximum pension is fixed at $140 a month, and only persons working in the department for 35 years could get that. .

Pensions Would Vary

The bill provides that examiners retiring after 25 -Years- of seryice who are under the age of 65 would receive a pension based on less than $4 a month because the period of ~ life expectancy is longer. For example, a man of 50 would receive a pénsion of $2.66 per month for each yeaf of service while a man of -64 would receive a pension based on the rate of $3.87 ‘per month for each’ year of service. Eighty-four examiners in the Accounts Board will be affected by the measure. Under its terms they must pay into the pension fund $20 for each year of prior service, not to exceed $500 for any one examiner.

Hereafter, they must pay $108 per year into the pension fund. Edward P. Brennan, chief examiner of the Accounts Board, said there were nine examiners between the ages of 65 and 70 who could retire under the provisions of ‘the bill which will become effective July 1, if signed by the Governor. He said that four new examiners would be hired to replace the 10 automatically retired.

COUNTY PLAN BILL PASSED BY SENATE

A bill creating a Metropiltan Plan Commission for Marion County was passed by the Senate and sent to the House today, without opposition. The commission is to have powers to zone all areas outside the Indianapolis City limits in Marion County. Its membership is to be composed of the members of the" City Plan Commission and five persons named by the County Commissioners, the County Agricultural Agent; the president of the County Commissioners, and the City Council president. Earlier a strong Senate farm bloc whipped down a move to kill the bill extending the State Milk Control Law for two years more. The urban senators won a victory, however, when they succeeded in inserting an amendment placing two
