General Orders. No. ., issued at Portland March
/ 8. by command Of Franklin NJ. Drew, Department
Communicate. q. Millikin, A. A.-G.,-contain
/ the following:
The Commander gratefully announces to the com
rades the generous acts of the last Legislature affect
! ing them aud those dependent upon them The
Legislature appropriated $50 600 for the payment
state pensions for the year 1889 and S65. Cot
/ for 1896. his was an increase of $4,000 The
! Legislature also amended the pension law so as
/ 10 allow a pension TO dependent children Of
/ deceased soldiers or seamen. The Legislature
( appropriated $3.50 to provide for the burial ex
pcnses of destitute soldiers and seauIen for the
/ year 1859 aud s., 600 for 1890. This was an in.
! crease Of $500 The Legislature appropriated
! 5000 for defraying the current expenses o.
! the Bath MILITARY and Naval Orphan Asylum
/ for the year 1889 and the same sum for 1890
| This was an increase of $1,000. The provision.
OF section 8 OF chapter "a of the Revised Statute:
as amended by chapters and l46 of the Public
Laws of 1887, relating to soldiers were amended
so TO include sailors within It's provisions. anC
also to prohibit the support of dependent soldiers
1 or sailors IN the poorhouse. Its provisions
( are important that the section as amended
/ is given entire and is as follows: Section s
| No soldier sailor who served by enlistment
/ in the army or navy OF the United States il
the of 1861 and who has received an honorabl,
discharge from said service, and who has MAJ
] become dependent upon any town. shall be con
siGered pauper, or be subject to disfrancbisemen
for that cause; but the time during which sale
soldier or sailor IS so dependent shall moi be in
Guided in the period OF residence necessary t.
| change his settlement: and oyerseerS of the poo
shall not have authority TO remove to- or suppor
In the poorhouse, any such dependent soldier o
sailor; but the town al his settlement shall supper
him al his own home IN the town of his settlement
residence, or in such suitable place other than tn
poorhouse the overseeTs of the poor of the tow
Of his settlement may deem right and proper Thi
section shall not be so construed TO depriv
overseers of the poor of any rights to remove an
I support such dependent soldier or sailor and hi
family IN the town of his settlement as herein pro
vided." Thus il viii be seen that the Legislator
4 has most generously responded to the request
I made for legislation by last annual EucamI
mcnt held at Lewiston. IL now remains for tn
comrades 10 see 10 1t that needy comrades an
the dependents OF deceased comrades receive ia
full benefit Of this generous and patriotic Legislation
Let every Post see 10 il that the claim of every dest
tuie worthy soldier and sailor, and every worth
destitute widow, father mother and child of
deceased soldier or sailor Is properly prepared an
: forwarded to the State Pension Clerk, Hon. "
Puriuton Augusta, Proper blanks can ordinaril
be obtained Of the town clerks, but always can
procured upon application TO the State Penso
Clerk The burden of the pension appropriate
falls equally upon all sections of the State its beI
eiits ought to be alike distributed and enjoye
r Let the Posts also see to it that the privileges
j the Bath Military and Naval Orphan ASYLUM Al
: constantly improved to the limits of the Asylum
= that the funeral expenses of destitute soldie
and sailors paid by the cities and towns whe
private charity is insufficient; and that no sold
or sailor is compelled 10 go to the poorhouse f
/ support. By thus securing TO our destitute con
rades and their dependents the full benefits of II
: I bounty and beneficent legislation of our mob
State, shall best discharge our duty 10 them al
J fulfill our mission of charity.
