Order 7s and Act of April "a, 1906.
On March Is, 1904, an order was is
sued to take effect April Is, 1904, which
provided that in the adjudication of
pension claims under the act of June
81, 1890, as amended by the act of May
8, 1900, II should be taken and consid-
cred as an evidential fact, if the con-
trary did not appear, that when claim
ant had passed the age of 62 years he
would be disabled one-half in ability to
perform manual labor, and, If all other
legal requirements were properly met,
would be entitled to be rated at Sc per
month; after 65 years, at So per month;
after 6S years, at $40 per month, and
after 20 years. at s12 per month.
The acts of April "a, 1906, and March
4. 1907, provided that the age of 81
years and over should be considered a

meaning of the pension laws.

There were but seven original and 10
increase claims adiudicated under the
order during the month of June, 1903.
-fesF Act of Feb. Q, 1907.
The act of Feb 6, 1907, grants pen
sions to persons who served 80 days or
more in the military or naval service
of the United States, during the civil
war, or 60 days in the Mexican War,
and were honorabiy discharged, at rates
as follows: S12 per month when 62
years of age, SIS per month when 20
years of age, and $40 per month when
rs years of age.
From the date of its approval to June
80, 1908, 431,113 applications for PEN
sion or increase of pension were filed
under this act, and more than one-half
of these were filed within few months
after the act became law A few of
these applications, however, We're du-
plicates OF former ones filed by the
same persons, and did not constitute
separate claims.
The work ofaadjudicating these appli-
cations was Immediately commenced,
and by readjusting the clerical force
of the Bureau from time TO time to meet
conditions as they arose, it was rapidly
carried forward, and within year from
the time the act became law all claims
under it had been given attention, and
the work of the Bureau was practically
current.

1907 The number of survivors in this
table does not agree with the number
of certificates issued, for the reason that
increase issues were included under the
certificates, while they were omitted in
tabulating the number at the various
ages. There was also a number OF
claims allowed on June 80, which were

Act Of April 10, 1908.

The first section OF the act Of April
10. 1908, provides that from and after
its passage "the rate of pension for
widows, minor children under the age Of
16 years, and helpless minors as defined
by existing laws, now on the roll or
hereafter to be placed on the pension
roll and entitled to receive q less rate
than hereinafter provided shall be 312
per month";
There were on the roll at the time
of the approval of the act of April 10,
1908. entitled to the benefit of the first
section of that act, 19S,260 widows,
4.017 minors, and 300 helpless children;
In all. 202,577, and in order to save
them the trouble and expense of MAX
ing application for the increase provid-
ed by that section, and in order to save
the Bureau the labor OF adjudicating
each of such applications, Immediately
on the approval of said aforementioned
act, all pension agents were directed to
increase the payments to such persons
to s12 per month from April 10, 1908,
on the certificates then held by them,
and from the aforementioned date such
payments have been and will be so
made.
The second section of the act grants
pensions at the rate of $12 per month
to the widows of persons who served 80
days or more in the army or navy OF
the United States during the civil war
and were honorably discharged, with
out regard to their pecuniary condition.
provided they were married prior to
June q, 1890. All pensions granted un-
der the second section of the act COM
mence on the date the applications are
filed in the Bureau of Pensions.
The conditions of title under this Sec
ton of the act are identical with those
imposed upon widows by the act of
June 81, 1890. as amended by the act
of May 9, 1900, with the exception that
the requirements as to dependence are
eliminated. This. act, therefore, super
sedes the act of June 27, 1890, in so far
as the claims of widows are concerned.
and pensions are not now being granted
to widows under the act of 1890 upon
applications executed and filed on or
after April 10, 1908.
The records show that 22,115 appli-
cations were filed under this law before
the close of the fiscal year 1908, and up
to that time 1850 certificates were Is

Examining Surgeons.

Examining Surgeons.
Most of the surgeons appointed to
make examinations of applicants for
pension or increase Of pension are or,
ganized into boards of three members
each, located at points in the United
States most convenient to the appli-
cants. In addition to the boards 1t is
sometimes necessary to have single sur
geons or specialists make examinations
of claimants who cannot go before a
board or who require the attention of
an expert. These surgeons are not un-
der Civil Service rules, and are paid for
the work they actually do from fund
provided for that purpose by Congress.
Examinations in foreign countries are
made by surgeons designated by United
States Consuls. On June 80, 1908, there
were 1862 examining surgeons, and
during the year 45,026 examinations
We're made, at an expense of $247,-
533.25.

The largest number of pensioners ever

ber added to the number of survivors
on the roll makes a total of 62S,0S4
who either are pensioners or have
claims pending
The civil war pensioners are divided,
according to the law under which the
pension is granted, into the following
classes:
1. General law.
9. Act of June 81, 1890, as amended

Values of the Pension Roll.
The annual value of the pension roll
at the close of the fscal year was $751;
495,701, against s1&0,S5O,8S0 at the
close of the previous year, gain. of
$1S,644,S21 in one year. The annual
value is the amount required to pay the
pensioners on the roll at the close of
the fiscal year for one entire year
Should there be no changes in the rates
or in the number of pensioners during
the year. The increase in the annual
value of the roll is due to the large
number of certificates issued during the
year under the act of Feb. 6, 1907, and
the increase in the rates to widows
granted by the act of April 10, 1908.
In the table below will be found the
average annual value of the pension of
each pensioner on the roll at the close
OF each of the last five years:
