HARTFORD AND THE BOUNTY
ACT.
| Hartford, Aug. 11.-Hartford has re
ceived as yet only one claim under the
soldiers bounty act The Post says:
| A reporter Of the Post called on Select
man Blake and asked him if any claims
had been preferred against the town
of Hartford. Mr.. Blake said: II have
only received one claim so far and that
is from a, man named Charles f. Par
ker, who resides in Vermont. Attorney
j. H. Brocklesby is of the opinion that
under the law we will have to pay
all such claims, but I have no idea as
to what the amount will be, but do not
expect it will be large"
In September, 1862 the town of Hart
ford appropriated 100000 to pay boun-
ties to soldiers. Each man who enlisted
or was drafted was to receive from the
town $100 and later this amount was
increased to $125. What proportion of
this 100000 was ever paid in bounties
it seems impossible to determine. Town
Clerk Higgins has tried to find record
of the expenditure but cannot The
money was expended by war commit
tee, and among the members Were j.
G. Patterson, J. Hurlburt White and
Sidney Ensign. Mr.. Patterson said to
9 Post man: 1.-THE general assembly
bounties any more than it can compel
the town to pay any bill If the gener-
al assembly has power to suspend the
statute of limitation, then the courts
must decide the cases, but the legisla-
ture cannot compel us to give bounties
and they can't compel US to pay them
But as far as / remember nearly all
the soldiers entitled to bounties were
paid, and / don't think there are many
claims against the town anyway"
