this year, ,many of the senators
baring no bills to Introduce. ',
Pension Favorwl i
Fr City Kmplojos .
The outstanding, event In the
senate' chambers was a hearing
held after adjournment by the
Multnomah county delegation
when Frank Irvln. head of the
Portland traffic department, ana
Chief Grenfel of the .Portland
fire department, made strong
appeals for support of a bill
which would make available for
firemen's and policemen's pen
sion funds, one half of two and
one-Quarter per cent of insur
ance premiums paid In the 'city
of Portland and turned over to
the state. '. -I i i ;
It was estimated that approx
imately $200,000 would be re
alised annually through the
operation of the proposed law.
It was explained by Captain Ir
Tin that the money derived un
der the proposed act would be
apportioned between the fire
men's and policemen's pension
funds on the basis of the num
ber ot men employed in each de
partment. There are now 520
firemen and 40 policemen In
Portland.
Chief Grenfel pointed out that
the firemens pension fund was
not In a satisfactory condition,
and that any surplus of money
accumulated under Its present
method of operation probably
would be exhausted within a
period of five or six years. Fig
ares showed that 62 members of
the '. fire department are no t
eligible to receive the pension,
but have elected to remain In
the service. A similar condition
was said to exist In connection ;
with the 1 . policemens' pension j
fund. In order to obtain the
pension firemen and policemen!
must have served for a period
ot 20 years. The retirement -age
is CO years.
Aid la Probation
Work la Sought
Judge Gilbert of the Multno
mah county court of domestic
relations, . appeared before the
delegation In the Interest of a
bill that would authorize the em
ployment ot a number of addi
tional probation officers and re
vise the salary schedule. Jue
Gilbert declared that approxi
mately 1800 cases of delin
quency . were referred to his
court annually, but that be was
restricted to the employment of
six : probation officers at this
time. He suggested that this
number of probation officers be
doubled, with each employe
handling a minimum of 40 cases.
The bill proposed by Judge
Gilbert fixes the maximum
monthly salary of probation of
ficers at $250.' The maximum
monthly salary for the chief pro
bation officer was specified at
$425. Judge - Gilbert declared
.that while the maximum salaries
might appear- excessive, they
would not be paid unless war
ranted by merit. He suggested
that the original salary ot proba
tion of fleers be fixed ' at $135 a
month, with an Increase of $10
per month during each succeed
ing year.
A proposed - constitutional
ameadment sponsored by the
-Portland city club which would
make- It possible to consolidate
the Portland and Multnomah
county governments, was re

Averill Still Pursues old
Hope of Getting Fish
i ! Out of Politics
A stats game board' "out of
politics" Is still the Ideal ot Ed
Averill of Portland, despite the
fact that Averill. as one-time
game commissioner, knows all
the pitfalls ot such supposedly
talni bops. iVV";'
Suggesting his Idea to Ex-Governor
Os West yesterday, Averltt
met with the cheery rejoinder
that ho had "better plan to stay
down all winter. .
Averill's idea which i he was
discussing with ; leaders on state
gams legislation yesterday is to
have the state game board consti
tuted like the state forestry board
in, membership with all affiliated
organisations to game work spon
soring! one member of the com
mission, j i 'Li' ;.!,
Thus the (State Game Protec
tive association would have one
member, the Iraak Walton league
another, the" grange or some re
presentation of land holders an
other while the interests of tim
ber owners would probably be re
presented by another member on
the board. -The governor would
be thOj ex-offlcio head of the
board.) -t ;'. - -
Averill feels that such a repre
sentation on the board would
eliminate much of the log-rolling
and 1 petty . politics now existing.
He points to the fact that the
state forestry board has function
ed forj years iQ a harmonious
manner. Its membership includes
representatives from a number of
state organizations interested in
forestry.
