PENSION AGENCIES

In the Country RstIuced-Largo Savings
Will be EsReststiy tt - CIaimOsl.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 7.-The
President has signed, on the recon-
uenda;ion of Secretary OF the Interior
Francis, an important order, reducing
the number of pension agencies in the
United States from eighteen TO nine.
The object OF the order is TO effect a
very large saving to the government
without inconveniencinGt the pensioners.
The secretary demonstrates that by
this reduction of the pension agencies
the most OF tiIsburslng pensions can ba
reduced by at least $4,000 per annum.
The change was made possible by an
amendment to the law governing the
disburslng OF pension, which amend
ment was approved March %, 1856. IT
required that all pensioners should, aC-
ter TINT date, be paid by checks re-
mitted by mall Reports from the pen
sion agencies In reply TO inquiries as
to the operation or new law were to the
effect that under 1t the pensioners arc
paid much more promptly; that the
possibility OF error is minlmiZed, and
lilut upon NIlt NuOie ~ N luuNl IlluEG
satisfactory to the pensioners than the
former law. The agents also advise
that the pensioners receive their PEN
sIons when RENTED by mail at their
homes, where, being surrounded by
family influences the pensloner Is
much more likely to make judlclous
disposition of his pension money. Un-
der the previous law many pensioners
collected their quarterly payments in
person and. under the influence Of bad
associations, were often-inducCd TO APP
ply those payments unwisely and de-
prive their families OF the benefits
thereof
This executive order VIII go into ef-
feet September !. next. itn execution
having been postponed until that date,
in order that no pensloner should suf-
fer Inconvenience in consequence Of
delay in receiving his pension. and to
give ample time for the removal OF
the rolls and records from the agencies
discontinued.
The consolidation was made by unit
ing existing agencies and the entire
Jurisdiction thereof in order that no
expense should be incurred By the
making Of new rolls.
