Land Warrants under tho New BilI.-Wo
are told that numbers Of persons are under
the impression that the Land and Pension
offices are prepared to issue land warrants at
once to those who are entitled to them under
the new bounty land bill r This is mistake,
and the sooner this erroneous notion is cor.
rec.ed the better it will DO. We understan |
that the COmmissiOner Of Pensions will not be
prepared to issue these warrants for at least
three months to come. The plates are yet to
be engraved, the blank warrants printed, The
clerical force increased, and other necessary
Preparations to be made. The act giving
land to those who served in the Mexisan war,
passed sept %, 1850, the first land warrant
under this act was not issued until January
H. 1891 more than three months after the
Ia" was passed. We prssume it will take at
ieast as long to get the new warrants ready.
