In this connection, however, the Board would point out that toward the close of 1940, the first pension was granted to a bene- ficiary because of the death of a member due to an accident incurred in line of duty. As this occurred in an early year after the creation of the Retirement System, it also will tend to disturb the calculations upon which the basic tables and liability rate are determined. While no change in rate has been recommended for the year 1941, it may result in some slight modification in subsequent years.
A year ago in its annual report, the Board called attention to the necessity for providing prompt information regarding the addi- tion of new employees to the City payrolls. This has not been en- tirely cleared up to date and we would again suggest that consid- (ration be given to the creation of a central personnel office.
