IMPRACTICAL ENGINEERS
The Visionary Bridge Builder and

(Fr0m the New York Evening P0st.)
There are probably few lines OF human
energy in which brains are more wasted
than in engineering projects. The number
OF secCnd-rate 'geHiuses who perpetual

uary I, 1898, shall, upon application, be re
considered and adiudicated, and the pen
=iCn, if restored or allowed shall comm nee
from the date Of such reduction or discon-
tinuance, or from the date subsequent
thereto at which the disability is shown by
the evidence to have existed. In the event
reduction or discontinuance any accrued
pension that may be found due shall be
paid as provided by existing laws in cases
Of death.
The Grosvenor bill contains section set
! ting forth that hereafter in the administra-
tion Of the pension laws all Investigations
| into the merits of any pension previously
allowed, shall be for fraud or clerical er-
ror, and il is provided that when fraud or
error is alleged, the allegation must be re-
duced to writing and under oath, and the
! person affected by shch charges shall lie
| furnished with a certified copy of the
charges, together with the names of the
/ persons making the same, at least thirty
| days before the time set for the enquiry
/ The pensiOner against whom the chargs S
are made shall also be furnished with the
names of the witnesses by whom it is
! sought to prove the allegation five days Ee-
! fore the investigation. Under the act the
! Investigation must be held at the county
! seat of the county in which the person ad-
| versely affected lives.
! In the administration of the pension
| laws any claim for pension founded upon a
! chronic disease or injury shall be held to
! be established as of service origin upon the
| evidence of two credible Witnesses provid-
| cd the claimant is unable TO procure the af-
! idavit of a commissioned officer, first SER
