For reasons which would appear to be obvious, we do not care to Aiscuss at length the physical <br />condition of these men, but we have the doctor's report, and would be glad to discuss them <br />.personally with any Councilman in the event you desire more information along this line. We <br />were somewhat at aw loss to determine why Mr. Essex who served a good many yearn as a. faithful <br />and efficient officer on the South Bend police department, should object to these men who are <br />entitled to participate in the pension fund, from doing so. The records of the Pension Fund <br />disclose that during the service of Mr. Essex on the Police Department he paid into the pension <br />fund not to exceed. $650.00. Since his retirement on February lst, 1932, he has received from <br />the Pension Fund an excess of $9200.00. 'FTe co not see why he should object to other men who <br />have served on the department, receiving; the same benefits from the Pension Fund as he is now <br />receiving and has received during the past several years. <br />GNB:L <br />Very truly yours, <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS & SAFETY <br />By Geo.
