been made on the fact that the Commissioner OF Pen
sous has asked for only for the hscsl
year-an Of only S3O00O00 the appropri
ations for the present fiscal year, while some
months ago he estimated that he would be
able to settle claims amounting 10 $lJ0000000
during the year. some fears have been
expressed that the earlier estimate OF the two would
prove correct. thus making large deficiency.
The apparently strong discrepancy is easily explained
The earlier estimate based upon the supposition
that he would be provided with largely increased force
at the beginning this fiscal year. As matter OF fact
his increased force did not get fully at work until
about November l, ami then II required
