1mpounded Pension Paners

D. H. Alexander, special examiner of
the pension bureau, some time ago inn
pounded some 600 pension certificates in
the office of r. B. Hostetler, an attorney
in the Boston block. 1t is not intimated
that anything wrong is suspected, but the
bureau simply wanted to make sure that
the papers are correct. Pensioners re-
ceive vouchers three months in advance,
and these must not be executed before
the time Of payment or they are void.
When the pension is due, the signer of
the voucher must make oath that he is
the proper party. This precaution is taxi
en- to prevent fraud.
