order and directed to cause the agencies
to be grouped in the manner provided by
the act of March 8. 1872 which requires
that each pensioner ST be paid quar-
terly and distributes the payments at the
different agencies in such a manner as
70 be most convenient TO the treasury Of
fcials at Washington and the sub-treas-
ury.
The following are the nine agencies and
the number of pensioners paid thereat
under the new order:
Boston. 94,457; New York, 9S, 1888; Phila-
delphia. Jog. 735; Washington, 1925; Co
lumbus 104 1872; Indianapolis 1885, chi
cago. 125. 123; ST. Louis. 161.709; San Fran
cisco % ,09s; total s70,67s.
All pensioners of the United States re-
siding in foreign countries and now num-
bering 3,7s1, will continue to be paid from
the Washington agency, and the navy
pensioners will be paid as heretofore from
Boston, Chicago, New York city. Phiia-
delphia. San Francisco and Washington.
The estimated saving to the govern
ment is as follows:
Clerk hire. .......-. .sivo'V'o
Salaries, nine agents, $4,000 per an
mum ........-. -.......-..-. oo,vVo
Contingent expenses Of agencies
Rent for agencies discontinued. $500
Total .s1s1, 407
The estimated saving in clerk hire is
based upon the cost of that item at the
two largest agencies in the service. name
". Columbus and Topeka. From these
agencies the pensioners are paid al an
annual cost of Is per cent per capita for
clerk hire After consolidation the cost
for clerk hire will amount 10 IS cents
per capita, s339,737, while that item for
the fiscal year ended June so, 1896.
amounted 10 s445,412
The following discon tinued agencies
pay the rents given below: Buffalo, 2.4o0
Detroit, 81, 400; Milwaukee, $500; Tope-
ka, $3.50: total $3.50.
Secretary Francis does not think any
valid objection can be offered TO this
change, and believes that the saving will
be even greater than estimated. Under
the new law the agents report that about
twice as many pensioners are paid dur
ing the first two days Of each quarterly
payment as under the old law. This
saving can be effected without any in
convenience to the pensioners, and will
reduce the annual expenses Of the gov
eminent to just that extent. and may
tend to allay in some degree the opposi-
ton that has been manifested hitherto TO
the great pension disbursements Of the
government. The total cost for pensions
and the disbursement thereof for the ifs
cal year ended June 80, 1896, was s142,-
206, 800, made up as follows:
Payments to pensioners S13S. 215, 1I6:
fees to examining surgeons, s672,5S7:
maintaining pension bureau at Wash
ington, 81, 753, $50; cost of maintaining
pension agencies, $685., 027.
1t is on this last item that the new or
der is intended to save between S150,00o
and $3.50, 900 per annum.
