Major Sylvester Calls Attention to
Some Needs.

Major Richard Sylvester. superintendent
of police. has informed the Commissioners
that the new sub-station house in Tenley-
town is about completed as far as the ap-
preparation will allow. He says there are
three matters regarding the building which
should receive the earnest consideration of
the Commissioners.
The first of these is that owing to the
limited appropriation the sides and upper
parts of the second story have not been
plastered or boarded. This should be done
as a protection in winter and summer. The
expense will be small.
The second matter to be considered is de-
fective drainage. Major Sylvester declares
this to be the most important defect A
year ago he invited attention to the prob
lem, there being no sewer main with which
to connect the drain from the house. A
bath room of modern construction Is in
icluded in the house, but cannot be used I'M
til provision is made for connection.
Thirdly. Major Sylvester states that the
lot should be squared and continued to the
rear. The close proximity of the outbuild-
ings makes this necessary. The small
amount of land required can no doubt be
acquired for trifling expense. Major Syl-
yester will include this item in his esti-
mates. He suggests that the sewer question
be given the earliest consideration.

must remain forever a fund for the pay
ment of pensions to the officers, seamen,
and marines who may be entitled to receive
the same The law provides that if such
fund be insufficient for the purpose the
public faith is pledged to make up the de-
ficiency. 1t does not appear that there was
any navy pension fund in 1851 but in 1862
1t amounted to 81, 356,0OO and in 1864 to
Sc .O55. $50. 1t now amounts to about VIA
100000. The interest on the fund up to 1868
was more than sufficient to pay navy pen
sions, and in that year a law was passed
reducing the interest on said fund to 3 per
cent per annum. Since 1870 the amount de-
rived from the interest this fund has
been inadequate to pay all navy pensions.
and the provision which pledges the puonc
faith to make up the deficiency has been
brought into operation since that date.
The Per Capita Cost.
The cost of the pension system per capita
of population for each year since 1889 and
the proportion it sustains to the wealth of

Rejected Claims.

hGleCLSu SldlllS.
OF the 113, 794 cases rejected last year.
9O916 were rejected on medical grounds,
and 81 1O1 of them were applications for in
crease in which the examining surgeons
found no increase of disability since the
last medical examination. A very small
proportion of the above were. original
claims.
Twenty-Five thousand eight hundred and
Seventy-eight cases were rejected on legal
grounds. In these cases 1t was found that
either there was no legal title to pension or
the claimants were unable; by reason of
lapse of time and other causes. to furnish
the necessary evidence to establish their
claims Most Of these claimants are al
ready in receipt of pensions under the act
of 1890. and were trying to obtain an in
creased allowance under the general law.
They were afforded every opportunity to
establish their right under said law, and
when they had declared their inability to
furnish further evidence formal rejection
of said claim was entered UP In order to
take the case out of the pending files.
The number of applications for original
pensions filed during the year was 228.OO2.
and the number of applications for increase
was 144.OS3, the latter being greater num-
Der than that filed In any year since 1888
for similar purpose. The act Of March 2.
19O3 increased the pensions of those who
lost limbs in the military or naval service
or who are totally disabled In the same.
l The beneiciaries under this act up to
July /. 1903. numbered 6,975, of which 3.O27
have received an increase from $50 to $40;
1905 from $50 to $46 2.O16 from $4S to SIS;
l from 1856 to $50: % from $72 to 500.
1t is estimated that the increase to the
pension roll by operation OF this act will
amount to between 100000 and 100000 an
nualy.
Spanish War Pensions.
The following shows the condition of the
bureau with reference to the war with

The Unknown Army.
The question is being constantly asked
how many survivors Of the civil war are
living and unpensioned, exclusive of de-
serters. The War Department, through
Gen. F. c. Ainsworth, chief Of the record
and pension Office made a careful calcula-
ition, and published the result April IA.
1895 He also made an estimate, based
upon approved life tables, of the number
of survivors on June 80 Of each following
year. The number 30 fixed for June 81.
1903 was 894,680. 1t will be seen that In
round numbers this Ia 0.0OO. Ny observa-
ton goes to show that this Is about the
right number, but II anything different the
estimate is tribe too low rather than
too high.
