THE STATE PENSIONS.

interesting Facts and Figures About Pen
sions to Veterans and Widows.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. Sth, 19OO.-GoV-
ernor Gambler today drew his warrant
on the state treasurer for the sum OF
1921, 900 for the purpose of paying 4,ll5
INDECENT pension claims at $50 each.
This class of pensioners is increasing at
the rate of about % per cent. per annum.
If this rate of increase continues for the
next five years, as is entirely probable,
it will require about $500, 900 per annum
to pay this class of pensioners alone.
The number of widows on the psnsion
roll is gradually growing smaller year
by year, while the number of inYalids is
slightly on the increase. There is now
on the roll one pensioner to every 165 it,
habltants in the state. 1t will require
something over ST 100000 to pay all OF
the pensions this year. This is debt
however, which the state cannot and the
people do not desire to evade.

The identifying Of station grounds
has become special feature Of many

direction is that recently outlined by
the management Of the Rock Island.
Every station on its line is to be
beautifed by one or more skilfully
designed parks, ornamented with
fountains, where water service is
available. The care OF the station
grounds will be in charge Of the sta
tion employees and maintained at the
expense of the company. Flowers,
foliage plants and shrubbery will be
set out in artistic shape, and such
other improvements made as local
conditions suggest. Many Of the
stations are already supplied with
parks, which can be improved and
made attractive with a small outlay
of labor and expense, while at other
stations new grounds will be laid out
and beautified. The Abilene depot
grounds will be among those i'm.
proved.
