Life Work Fruitless Police Relief in Financial Danger
The Boston Police Relief Association faces disbandment after a quarter century of service. Since 1871 the group has paid over $20,000 in sick and death benefits with annual disbursements around $19,000. The annual ball once brought in about $15,000, but after General Martin became police commissioner in 1895 the ball was abolished and receipts failed to cover disbursements, draining the $40,000 surplus.
