KELSEY WANTS ENGINEERS TO WORK
AS INSPECTORS UNDER HIS SUPERVISION

In view of the recent revelations which
have been made concerning the personnel
and methods of the inspectors of the board
of public works various schemes for MAX
ing the service more efficient are being
discussed.
The plan favored by L. c. Kelsey city
engineer, is the employment of expert
enced engineers for the places. He as
serts that ten young engineers. active and
intelligent. can do the work now being
done by twenty-five Inspectors. and do Il
more acceptably.
He would have the engineers attached
to his department and under his personal
vances for this change is that the engi-
neer who makes the plans and specifica-
tons for the work should see to 1t that
they are carried out to the letter Under
the present system the board of public
works. which is independent OF the engi-

neer. hires the men who are supposed
TO see that the plans are adhered TO. rms
division of responsibility is said TO be-
half the cause of the trouble
In hiring inspectors the board gives lit
tie attention to the ability of the appli-
cants. The compensation is So day. IL
often occurs that such men are detailed
TO watch the work of those who are paid
by the contractors as high $40 day
for their expert services.
Mr. Kelsey figures that a saving could
be made besides doing the work In a
more acceptable manner. He says il would
not be necessary TO pay more than SlOJ
a month each to eight or ten competent
men. They could be furnished with horses
or other conveyances when necessary and
go from one iob to another. Under the
present system sometimes as many as five
men are detailed to watch single job.

Springtime.

Leave your watch at home, depend
upon the sun and your appetite to mark
the flight of time, and you'll be sur
prised how long and restful day will
seem under these circumstances. You
might stick a fishing line in one pocket
a small can of worms in another and a
sandwich in every other pocket. The
more pockets for sandwiches the better.
The fish in the creek will not be quite
as big as the ones you caught while you
were working so hard on your midsum-
mer vacation last year, but they will
give you lot more fun. Cut a willow
pole and don't call to mind the fact
that there are such things as steel rods
or multiplying reels. Just imagine that
you are playing hockey from school
again, and wonder what you will do
with the fish. When you played hockey
for sure and crught a big mess of fish
you didn't dare take them home. Gee,
don't you wish you could do that all
over again ? Try it soon and see how
it goes.

VIRGINIA PENSION LAW.
SOME CHANGES THAT WILL BE OF IN.
TEREsT TO OLD VETERANS.

SOME CHANGES THAT WILL BE OF IN
TEREST TO OLD VETERANS.
April 1st to August 1st is the dat
within which Confederate soldiers ant
their widows, entitled to pensions, ar,
to file applications, necessary to the re
ceipt of their pensions, which are pai6
out by State Auditor Marye in Saptem
ber.
Clerks Newton Argenbright and Har
ry Burnett, who are charged with Ger
tain duties under the pension law, are
in receipt of copy of the new law ap
proved March 10th, last. 1t is of spe
cial interest to pensioners, in that it in
crereases the amount allowed. The
following increases are noted
To soldiers or sailors who lost an
arm, leg, foot or hand in the Confederate
service, the pension is now $65 yearly
instead of $50 as last year.
To veterans disabled by wounds,
disease or infirmities of age, the pen
sion is now $36 for total disability and
$24 for partial disability; last year il
was $50 for total disability and S15 fol
partial disability.
To every widow of soldier or sailor,
who lost his life in the service, the pen
sion is now, as it was last year, $40.
To every widow of soldier or sailor,
who died since the Civil war, the pen
sion remains as last year, $25.
A change in favor of this last class
includes widows who have married
since the death of their soldiers hus-
bands, and are now widows again. The
old law cut out from applying for the
benefits of the pension act all widows
of soldiers who had married again. The
law is also broadened in respect to
widows, in that those are now pension
able who married a soldier or sailor up
to May l, 1868; under the law OF last
year only those were pensionable who
married prior to May l, 1866.
The new law enlarges the list to the
extent that it makes pensionable ap-
plicants owning as much as $3.50 worth
of property; the old law fixed the limit
at $500. And the old law disqualified
any one having an income of $50; the
new law raises this limit to 5000.
All pensioners on the rolls, under
any general act, will be emitted to the
benefits of the new law without renew
ing their applications, excepting these
pensiOned under the act of 1900. 1t will
be necessary for them TO file new certi-
ficateS.
