probably been reached in the number
of pensions, but that for two or three
years the payments would remain
about the same. While the amount OF
money paid for pensions will not be
materially different from that of past
years. it appears that there has been
added to the pension rolls during the
year about 1000 names in excess of
those that have dropped out. The year
has not been very fatal to pensioners.
