City honors two servicemen

JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja honored two
servicemen Friday, Danu Sisworo and Maryono, who died on duty on
April 4.

Danu, a fireman from Central Jakarta Fire Department, was
trapped in a fire for hours on the fourth floor of Harco
Electronics Center in Mangga Dua, Central Jakarta. He died of
suffocation and burns. Danu had been in the department for 26
years.

Maryono, a traffic policeman, died in an accident while
patrolling.

The municipality awarded Danu's family Rp 1 million (US$410)
from the city budget and Rp 13 million from the municipality
employees' fund. Maryono's family received Rp 11,300,000.

The governor said the contribution, although small, would
reflect the government's attention on the employees' welfare.
