An official otthe I'eniuylvanialtallioadCom pan said yesterday that, after seernl years' consideration, n conclusion has practically been reached ns to tho creation of a pension and superannuation fund for the benefit of the employees ot the company. It is understood that TU years of age has been fixed upon as th ago for compulsory retirement, and thatem plojeca who hae been in the sotUee thirty ears, lint ae nof attained that age, will bo entitled to the benefits ot the fund upon report of the committee which will haie the adminis tration ot the fund. Tho pension allowanco will be bated upon length of service and the average wages re ceived by the employee during such service It Is estimated that it will requlro a payment by the eompmyof about S.'IOu.OOO a year to mako the fund effective. The preliminary ar rangements are now being made so that nt the meeting In tho fall deflnlto action may be taken by the board and the fund put In opera tion This fund will not interfere at all with the employees' relief fund, but will work In en tlro harmony therewith, and tho regulations governing the fund will be finally shaped through conferences between the executive of ficers ot tho comiany, the general manager, the comptroller and tho Advisory Committee of the relief department.
