the PENSION ROLL,
Last Congress Increased
II About 100000.
Pensions Paid Since The Civil
S3,654,653,365.
Total Pensions Paid Last Year
Amounted to SI53,093,062.

Washington, March 30.--During the
Goth Congress, G597 special pension acts
were passed by Congress, according to
a statement just complied by Senator
McCumber, chairman of the Senate com
mttee on pensions. While many OF
these acts were to increase pensions al
ready received by veterans, the result
of the legislation has been to increase
the annual payments by about ST.
900 900.
Since 1861 there have been granted by
special acts 2G.32l original pensions and
II. 800 veterans were granted an increase
of pension. all of which have an annual
face value of about. $5.23o.oo0. AS
many of these pensioners We're formerly
on the rolls at lower rate this lgure
does not represent the total increase OF
the pension rolls on account Of special
legislation.
Since the close of the Civil War in
1868 there has been paid in pensions the
sum of $3.65l 653.36o and the cost of
aintaining pension agencies and adj
ministration of the pension bureau has
been S112S52477.
In 1902 there were 900, i46 pensioners
on tne TOil III an tNl'tlSt VI Fto'''Vf'
2G1, but owing to the passage of the
McCumber age law and the Sulloway
widows law the appropriations to pay
pensions increased to $153. 0?3.062 for
the last year. 1t is estimated that 60
900 pensioners died during the last year
II is estimated that within 10 years the
ension roll will not carry over $4,000
600 or $50. 900 900 unless additional leg
islation should be enacted.
