Inquiry on Pensions Seeks Reorganization of District Funds
Senate adopts resolution by Senator Burkett ordering a full inquiry into the firemen and policemen relief funds of the District of Columbia. It directs a December 1908 report detailing annual expenditures, recipients, disabilities, and widow or child benefits, plus comparisons with other cities and recommendations for unified reform. The measure stems from proposed amendments to the relief act to cover sickness and injury alike and to fix funding increases amid rising beneficiaries.
