From the Statu Board. The
DitForcnt Stages.
The Statu, ISth inst.
Every year about this time those

win n tlie pension money will become

to lie paid out
Already such inquiries are ho
inj; received, and so that some
ideu'of the work mij^ht he outained
by the public, tho follevin?j statement
has been made puolio:
! "Several petitions have been
received by the State pension
hoard, asking that the fund he
I distributed as soon as possible to
tho poor, needy veterans and
widows. Tho delay in the matter
of paying out the pensions is <;en
orally supposed to be the fault of
the State board and this state

! pitting a few of the difficulties
with which we have to contend
So far only thirteen counties out
of forty have sent in their rolls;
after the rolls are received here,
' they have to he cheeked over with
last year's rolls, and in neaelv
every case in my old pensioners
are left off. Wo then have
make a list of them and send hack
to the county hoard a asking for
information, and frequently wait
| several weeks before we receive
lit, as the hoards are scattered;
| besides this, we have to return
| many applications which are defective
for correction. In many
counties pension township hoards
have had no meetings yet, a t we
cannot hope to receive the last
I rolls before the latter part of
April, if then. In one county
there were forty five old pen
sioners unaccounted for, and it
bus taken two weeks since the
roll was checked over and the
names sent to get the proper in?
formation concerning them, and
this is one of niauy instances; if
we copied then'olls in the condi
tion in which they are received,
; we would bo doing groat injustice
to the pensioners, as by inquiries
regarding those left off we invariably
tind thoy were overlooked and
should have been reported. When
the rolls nrr tinu 11 v in, ami after
considerable work done on them
here, in proper order, it is then
necessary to make out to pay rolls.
As there were over 7,00<> pensioners
last year and likely to ho
500 more this year it is a matter
of considerable time and work to
write out the pay rolls for the
clerks 01 court. We then send
them to the chairman of the county
board to verify and then only
are w? prepared to pay out tho
pension fund."
