Washington Jlarth 31 In sending to congress a deficiency estimate of 8
070872 for prntlons for this year Secretary Bliss maVcn an Interesting statcmint
on the genera subject of pensions up to date Scnetary lllits sa
On the 1st of July 1R07 thtrc was available 140000000 for tho piyment of
army a nd ravy pensions 4000000 of thli ireount vas set apart for navy pen
slcu leaving JJS6000000 for pamrnt of army Vnilons The total number of pen-
sioners on the roll Juno ft 1SK7 was 076014 while February 2S IMS there wcro
> 89613 on Iha roll a net Increase of 13559 Between the latter dates there
was disbursed for the pajment of ami pensions 9537087210 leaving the sum
of 40 2012751 for tho pajment of pensions to the end of ho piefcnt fiscal jcar
The commleloncr of pensions estimates that 13700000 will bo reaulrcd for tho
rayment of ren lo ns during tho remaining four rarntt of the fiscal year mora
than 8000000 In excess of the unexpended appropriation
Tho commissioner has recently exprprwd an opinion as lo the future course
of pension pnjmcnts at varlanco with his views therccn as stated o the an-
nual report whlth was n the effect that aftn tbc Uoso of Uio current jear pay-
ments would rapidly riivltast It Is now his opinion that In view of the Increasing
implications for original jicusltns and for Increase of penicns thcro will be an

after the war coed thft numl t of pensioners oii tbe roll was 537944 At thf

The roll Is new larger than at any former time notwltbitendlng that thirty
three years have elapsed since the cessation of hostilities it contained about
