VETERAN CLAIMS.
A Pro Rata for the Veterans of the war
Of 1872,

A Fro Rata for the Veterans Of the war
Of 1877.
The matter OF the payment Of pensions (State)
to the veterans OF the war of 1912 has received
considerable attention from the present State
Auditor, especially since he took possession of
the Office at the State House, there having been
presented to him since then large number OF
claims of that kind.
The claims, with the besieging friends Of the
claimants. increased to such an extent that few
days ago the Auditor referred the matter to
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
for his opinion as to what were the bona fide
claims which should be warranted for. and as to
his authority in issuing warrants upon the appro-
pristion Of $4,000 made by the last Legislature.
In submitting the case the Auditor also gave
such information az he could, relative to the
precedent established by his predecessor In pay
ing only the claims Of veterans passed upon by
the
JOINT HIGH VETERAN" COMMISSION,
appointed by the late Judge Barney Lynch. who
sat for days in the back room OF the Auditors
Office, and who decided that some seventy or
eighty out OF over four hundred claims were valid.
The Attorney General, 10 his opinion, thought
that the claims passed upon by any Of the dis
trict courts in the State were fully equal, from
legal standpoint, to the claims decided upon by
the Lynch commission, and the Auditor will act
accordingly. He will audit claims for the first
and second quarters OF the (current) year, where
they have been passed upon as noted above,
which will give the claimants pro rata OF about
$l3 20 each.
