1, ended Its meeting Wednesday afternoon. A statement Issued by the board in reference to Its position regarding the pensions for widows of Confederate soldiers, follows: "The Cox-Wbrlcy bill carried -an appropriation of $210,000 per annum for pensions of widows of Confederate soldiers. It' was thought by some ot us at the time of the passage of the bill that the amount was too small: others thought the amount would be sufficient. Later when it wSs discovered that the amount appropriated was, in fact. Insufficient, assurances were given the Pension Board that an additional amount would be Inserted In tiie general appropriation bill.

"Acting upon this assurances, the Pension Board, at the April, 1911, meeting, placed on the roll every "widow whose application was found to be good under the laws. "The feature extending the marriage date from lb7ti to 1S00 was not a part the Cox-Worley bill, but was a separate act. "Among the widows placed on the roll at the April meeting there were seventy-seven who came under this extension. "An Item of $25,000 per annum for widows' pensions was put into tho general appropriation bill and passed both houses; when it was discovered that the appropriations for all purposes exceeded the available revenue, a committee of conference was appointed, 'which took up the matter and eliminated a number of Items so as bring the appropriation within the estimated revenues. Among the items eliminated was the per annum for widows of the Confederate soldiers.

No part of the appropriation of $210,000 appropriated by the Cor-Worly bill was struck out and the balance of It which was. not used in paying the March and June payments la still to the oredlt of the Pension Board on the Treasurer's books, ami Is available to pay tho pensions of these widows already on tti4 roll, possibly for the balance of the term of two years. "When the Pension Board met on August 1 It was found that, by reason of the failure to provide sufficient for 'the widows and by reason of the action of the board at the April meeting, base'd on the assurance more money, there were between 300 and 400 more widows on the rhan ihere was money enough in sight to pay. This la asuimlng that the number of widows en the roll continues as it stood on August 1, "Of course It will not so stand, hs vacancies frequently occur from death, removal from the state and other caused. "It wfd.

howevei, in the opinion of a majority of the board, be necessary for us to postpone placing any more widows on ihe pn.t-ion roll until vacancies enough occur to bring the roll within tho amount appropriatel by the Cox-Worley No such deficit existed In the fund for pensions of aolvliers. so the board was able to place -some 122 Boldlers on the men's roll at tho meeting whic.i adlouraa to-day "GEORGE B.
