but also to aid those in distress, extending this alleviation even 

 where the relationship of employer and employee has ceased. 



At this time we would express our appreciation to those 

 friends who have responded, from time to time, to our solicita- 

 tions for funds, medical treatment, etc., which have enabled 

 the Pension Board to carry out this portion of the work without 

 impairment of its General Fund Account. 



We now have 235 contributing subscribers and one retired 

 employee. During the fiscal year. 1" employees who were sub- 

 scribers resigned or were dismissed from the service, and 30 

 new employees, together with one employee who attained his 

 majority, were accepted as subscribers. One petition for a 

 pension was denied. In connection with this last case, how- 

 ever, it must be stated that the Pension Board was powerless 

 to grant the request, as it was found, to the applicant's entire 

 satisfaction, that the circumstances under which the request for 

 pension was filed did not exist. The Pension Board has recom- 

 mended the re-employment of this applicant. 



The following tables show the ages of subscribers ( 1 ) , and 

 their terms of service (2), at their anniversary date during the 

 current year.
