Pensions for Blind

Councillors Mica jah Hudson of Gull
ford and John A. Cunningham of Els
worth arrived at the Capitol Wednes-
dav and are busily engaged in the
work connected with the sorting out
and classifying the applications for
pensions under the new law for the re-
lief of the blind. They have already
received something like 63S applications
and the number will doubtless reach
700, with more examinations to be
held in June. The progress on the WORK
being done by this Council committee
is necessarily slow. but some is pelng
made. Messrs. Hudson ard Cunning
ham say, realizing that the law mas
come to stay and as it will finally be
a. great benefit to many hundreds, the
start of its operation should be made
as near right as possible-and then 1t
can be successfully carried out in fu-
ture years.

in this case an exception would be
made, and the State would see to 1t
that the road was completed this year.
About 1850 feet were constructed
last year, and during the present year
it is planned to macadamize the 1850
feet stretch from Montello street to
the Fair ground. This will take about
$1,000. leaving $4,000 from the total
State and city appropriation to con-
meet the macadam road with the road
already constructed. 1t is expected that
the amount then remaining would be
between half a mile and a mile.
While the members Of the board
agreed that this was a good PROPOSE
ton for the city, it was thought advis-
able to have the agreement in writ
ing and Clerk Foss was instructed to
communicate with the State commits
sion and secure such an agreement.
