Bennington Soldiers Home Condemns
Recent Act Of Congress.

eBnnington, Oct. 15.-In their bien.
nial report TO the legislature the trus.
tees of the Vermont Soldiers Home ask
for a special appropriation of $4,000.
The trustees condemn the act of Con-
egess of Mry 2s, 1908, which ordered all
pensioners who were inmates of sol
diers' or sailors homes maintained by
any state to receive their pensions di-
rect instead of being paid to the treas.
urer or other officer of the home or in
stitution. The effect is to deprive the
home in the future of any income from
reverted pensions. From these it re-
ceiyed last year S795.56
The shortage of funds at the present
time is accounted for by the building of
en- addition to the hospital at an ex-
ptnse of S2,5o0 and the renewing Of the
Insurance on the property for five years
at cost Of S1,150.
The registration at the home during
the past year has been between 90 and
100 and there have been but eight
deaths during the year. The home
farm mas been conducted at profit of
