PENSION VOUCHERS H Clay Evans, Com.
missioner of Pensions, has sent out the fol.
lowing notice:
Sir: Recent investigation had by this Btu
rcau to ascertain the methods employed by
public officials In executing pension vouchers
has demonstrated an almost total disregard
of the laws and regulations governing the
subject.
1t is clearly evidenced that the illegal, lax
indifferent and perfunc,ory procedure now
extant has become menace to the proper
and safe conduct OF the affairs oftbis Bureau,
so far as it relates to the ayment ofpensions
and special efforts are contemplated to cor.
rect the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many officials who
assist in the execution Of pension vouchers
have no conception of their criminal liability
in the premises, it is equally certain that
many others to S. cure an advantage in the
numerical number of their clientaCe, know.
ingly and wilfully resort to violations of the
law
To the end that the former class may profit
by this notice, this circular is issued.
There can he no justification in the preva.
lent haste and laxity existing in many offices,
by winch post dating, false certifca,ion, false
claim aud "siock" witnesses have become
factor in the administration and acknowledg
mcnt of pension vouchers.
1t is the intention of this Bureau, where
The facts warrant such action, to institute
criminal proceedings against the parties who
indulge In these illegal aud irregular prnc-
tices and they are warned accordingly.
BY following strictly the instructions print
ed on each voucher, the matters complained
OF may be entirely remedied.
