department thoroughly organized with
out delay SO that the pensioners OF the
State will not have to wait this year
for their money. Inasmuch as the
township and county boards have
to meet very soon, the State board
of pensions has prepared the follow
ing rules for the guidance OF these
boards:
The pension boards as organized In
1897, will meet as required by law on
the third Monday in January at con-
venient place in each township for the
purpose of examining the township
rolls Of their respective townships. and
for passing upon any new applications
for pensions. All new applications for
pensions must appear in person before
township boards. Said applications
must have the approval of the township
and county boards before the State
board can approve. The township
boards may drop from the roll OF pen
sioners the name or names Of any party
or parties which in their judgment are
not entitled to Q pension under the
law, giving the reasons therefor IN writ
ing and also erase the names Of those
whom they know to be dead. They
may add to the rolls only such names o.
new applicants as may file applications:
Those already on the pension roll
need not prepare nor file new spplica-
tiops.
All new applications not properly and
correctly fled in each particular, al.
though approved by township and
county boards, will be disaprroyed by
the State board. The county boards
are requested not to forward to the
State board the names of any pension
ers disapproved by the township or
county boards. Complete county and
township lists as approved for 1897 are
herewith sent to the township boards,
from-which they are expected to make
up the list of those to be continued on
the roll; the same will be handed to the
. county board for their approval.
