In his annual roport Commissioner ot Pensions Lindsey will make some lm portant recommendations to the mem bers ot the general assembly. This report is expected to be submitted to the legislature next Monday. The commissioner w.ill aak for an ap propriation this year ot $88,000 for pen sion rolls. This is an increase of $68, 000 oter the amount set aside last year for pensions. According to the report there are more than $1,000 new names on the pension rolls for 1902. The in crease represents pensioners of the indigent class. Last year the pension appropriation was $822,000, which was an increase of $182,000 over the preceding year, for in 1901 the rolls amounted to $090,000. This large increase, however, was made necessary largely by the addition of another class of pensioners, the indigen t widows who. were paid $18,000. Commissioner Lindsey will make three very important recommendations the first of which is the necessity for having the legislature take steps to have a complete and accurate roster of oil Georgia sqldiers prepared; This will facilitate matters considerably and will prevent, to a large extent, any possible chance on thrvpnrt of unscru pulous person*, to practice fraud on the state. Another recommendation will be that of having impartial medical ex aminers appointed, probably one of each congressional district, to pass upon applicants for pensions. The third recommendation is in the interest of quarterly instead or annual payments of pensions. Captain Lindsey is of the opinion that if this plan la carried out and is operated after the manner adopted }y the state school commissioner in paying state public school teachers, the work can be accomplished in a comparatively short tiino ,and the state will get the use of much of the money throught the year. Governor Candler, in his late message to the legislature, touched upon several of these matters , Commissioner Lindsey is very anx ious to have laws passsed which* will prevent fraud in securing pensions nnd hopes to interest tlu; legislature to that end. Recently he discovered that three men were impersonating their fathers, who were dead, and were receiving the pensions intended for their patents The names of the men have not been made public by the commissioner, but lie has sent them to the grand juries in their repective counties for action. m DODsoi-iEns marriage.
