aaust Await Appropriation.

A large number Of applications
for pensions are being made to the
State Board Of Pension Commissions
ers BY widows Of Confederate vet
Grams under the provisions Of Act
liz of the last general assembly.
This act was proposed amendment
to the constitution relative to the
granting OF pensions to Confederate
veterans and their widows and pro-
vides for the issuance Of pensions to
widows who were married to their
deceased husbands prior to January
!, 1875, provided they possessed the
other necessary qualifications.
While this act was ratified at the
polls in the last election and is sup
posed to become operative imme-
diately after its passage, as matter
OF fact its privileges cannot be taken
advantage of until after the legisla-
ture OF 1906 has made the proper
appropriation with which to meet
the claims arising under the passage
OF the new act. Under the present
status the pension board has no more
available funds than it had before
the passage of the act in question.
The ratification of Act No. liz
made it possible for the legislature
to double the amount Of the appro-
priation for pension purposes and
broadened the avenue by which ap-
piications could become qualified,
but until the appropriations for the
payment of such claims as may be
made under the new provisions have
been passed BY the comirg session of
the legislature, the pension board
Will have only the Same amount of
funds for distribution as it has pre-
yiously had.
