sions for 1914. 1 am advised by the
State Treasurer, however, that no
funds are in hand to make these pay
ments now, nor will he until taxes
come in—about Dec. 14. Say to the
unpuid veterans that we are sorry for
this delay, but everything will be done
to pay them on the earliest day possi
ble. The hill to relieve pensioners
from paying the usual fee of $1 to the
Ordinary, and requiring the State to
pay same, has become a law and will
be operative on and after Jan. 1.”
