PEHSIOflBILLSIGHEO BRIDGE CARS LEGALIZED Probate Code, Absentee Voting, In ter-County Ferry Operation and Irrigation Regulation Are In Day's Business. OLYMPIA. Wash. MVirh Ifi Ra cial.) Governor Lister signed the teachers' retirement bill today, under the terms of which teachers may be assured of an annuity of $480 upon retirement after 30 years of service, 15 of which must be in the state and 12 in the same distrlot. Funds con tributed entirely by teachers are es tablished by district directors upon pe tition of a majority of teachers employed. A total contribution of $720 must be paid into the fund before a teacher becomes eligible to annuity. After 85 years of service, 15 In the state, a teacher becomes eligible If employed in the aistrlct when a fund Is estab lished there. Disability annuity of $420 for a maximum of two years' is also provided under special terms of the act. Other bills approved by the Governor today include an act to legalize laying of streetcar tracks upon approaches to the Interstate bridge at Vancouver, authorizing lnter-county operation of ferries, the probate code, amendments making the absentee voting bill ap plicable to primary elections, regula tion of midwife practice, and irriga tion district regulation amendments contained in H. B. 126. Five sections of H. B. 876 imposing a license tax upon dogs In rural dis tricts were vetoed, and remaining sec tions, providing for destruction or con finement of vicious dogs approved. The Governor argues that keeping dogs on farms should be encouraged rather than discouraged on account of their usefulness there, that making the as sessor a county dog catcher would in terfere with his more important duties and that a fund deficit would likely be created by the method of licensing pro posed. Beetions approved provide for the killing on sight of dogs attacking chil dren or domestic animals outside the owner's nrooertv. and require him to destroy or confine animals complained of. Today's work leaves the Governor with 14 bills, nearly all important, to dispose of by Tuesday night. USE OF LAND IS OFFERED Centralla Railway Men Get First Chance From O.-W.
