Show PENSION FOR POLICEMEN Heath's Injury May Result Re-sult in State Law on the Subject. ; Senator C. E. Loose has in mind the preparation of a bill to- grant a pension for every Utah policeman. The usefulness useful-ness and the Justice of such a bill was suggested to him yesterday by the' possibility pos-sibility that Patrolman Heath's injury might result in his partial disability and a corresponding decrease in his earning capacity. Senator Loose believes that every policeman po-liceman should be conscious that if he is wounded or killed while discharging his duty, his family would be provided for by the State. Under such a law a policeman would be willing to . run greater risks and expose himself to greater danger in the performance of his duty'than he would be if he knew that his family would be left in want and no provision were made for their It is believed that the bill whlch Senator Loose will draft will be passed by the present session of the Legislature. |
