PENSION LISTS
ARE BEING PRUNED

Half in Two.
NO WIDOWS REJECTED
But Many Soldiers Names Are Being
Stricken Off
ONLY THE MORE NEEDY ONES RETAINED
And Even Then the Pension Roll This Year

Ever Before Been in
This State.

The State Pension Board was in session
yesterday passing on the pension lists
sent up from the various counties of the
State.
The first problem that confronted the
board in it's work was how to cut down
the lists passed by the county boards In
der the recent pension law so many new
names have been added that il would
take several times the amount of pen
sion money available to pay to each PEN
sioner the amount stipulated in the act.
In order, therefore, to extend aid 20
those most in need of it, the board de-
cided ITO put on the list only those VINO
are totally or hree-fourths disabled re-
jectine' those whom the county boards
have graded as one-half and one fourth
disabled. This rule greatly reduces the
immense lists, though even then there
will he many more names on the roll
than heretofore.
The work of going over these lists IS n
tedious one and will consume several
days. Only ten counties were disposed VI
