Expects To Pay Pensions In
From Sixty to Ninety Days
From Now.
Following is a part of a letter from
J, W. Lindsey, sent to Dr. Whitley,
concerning pensions:
The General Assembly just adjourn
ed made necessary appropriations to
pay all the pensions that are due and
undaid on all the rolls, both “old” and
“new” with the increases, for 1920
and 1921.
The only provision made to get thfc
money to make this payment is by the
sale of the rental of the State's rail
road for five years. The Governor be
lieves that he can make this sale at an
early date, and out of the proceeds of
the sale he will pay all of the unpaid
pensions both “old” and “new” in
cluding the increases, for 1920 and
1921.'-
Just when this money can be turned
into the state Treasury to make the
payments we cannot say, but we hope
that this can be done in the next sixty
or ninety days.
Advise all your pensioners not to
allow themselves to become oyer anx
ious about these paymec tsbut to abide
the conditions-patiently, fori assure
you that as soon as the Governor fcan
complete his arrangements to obtain
the money he will grant me his war
rant for the payment, the Treasurer
will issue his checks, and they will be
sent from his office to the Ordina
ries. ,

erle, acr the quests of Mr- and Mr?.
