B. Kecnan. (International) j Jap Trial Portia Local Units Join Retirement System BY LYNN NLSBKT. Daily Dispatch Bureau Raleigh, July 12.?Approximutely 25 municipalities have so far joined the N. C. Local Government Em-, ployccs Retirement System, set up j by the 1941 general assembly for state administration of the various local units. The local system is ad ministered by the same board as the regular teachers and state em ployees system with the addition of a city mayor and a county commis sioner. and is under direct supcr %'ision of Nathan Yelton. executive secretary to both boards. I A large part of Yclton's time now is devoted to explaining the system ' to local governmental boards which wore in process of making up bud gets for the current fiscal year. II is expected that at least a dozen other units will join the system within the next few weeks A few cities had operated retire ment systems of Iheir own prior to adoption of the state Inw, but ex perience in this and other states has proven that operation of small units is both inefficient and expensive. It is not possible to get adequate notorial data on very small groups and there is too much of cither the t mployee losing what he pays in or i the city going broke meeting retire ment claims. The national municipal finance officers' association has made n slud.% of the problem in several slates and warns against attempting to operate with leas than 500 par ticipants. The association in a late bulletin recommended state super vision on about the same basis as the North Carolina law provides. Experiments with one system to in clude both stale and local employees have been more satisfactory than at tempts to operate individual small units, but tbc association recom mends separation of State and locals. In North Carolina the funds are not commingled but joint administra tion affords efficiency at low cost. The idea is picking increasingly popular with Tar Cool towns and counties.
