priated by the pension department. m or
der that he may investigate all claims for
i pensions. This Is absolutely necessary.
Claims are coming to his office from all
parts of the State. and | am sorry to say
that in some instances these claims are
misrepresentation: but. as perhaps some OF
you know and some do not know. these
claims have to be renewed annually and
conditions are constantly changing. A
person who was last year eligible for IA
State pension, may not be- this year. For

individuals In one town. and he toll me
that ii would be absolutely necessary for
him TO visit that town and TO visit each
of those individual claimants in order
that no injustice may be done to anyone

should receive them. This being the case
