reau to ascertuiin tho methods employed
by public officials in executing pension
vouchors, has demonstrated an almost
total disregard of the laws and regula
tions governing tho subject.
It is clearly evidenced that the illegal,
lax, indifferent and perfunctory proced
ure now extant has become a menace to
tho propor and safe conduct of the affairs
of the Bureau, so far as it relates to the
payment of pensions, and special efforts
are contemplated to correct the existing
abuses. While it is believed that many
officials who assist in the execution of
pension vouchers have no conception of
their criminal liability in the premises,
it is entiallv certain that many others to
secure an advantage in the uumorical
number of thoir clientage, knowingly
and wilfully resort to violations of the
law. To the' end that the foimer class
may nrofll by this notice, this circnlar is
issuod.
There can be no justification in the
prevalent haste and laxity existing in
many offices, by which post-dating, false
certification, false claim and "stock" wit
nesses have become a factor in the ad
ministration aud acknowledgement of
pension vouchers.
It is tho intention of tho Bureau, whore
the facts warrant such action, to institute
criminal proceedings against the partios
who indulge in these illegal and irregular
practices and they are warnod according'
By following strictly the instructions
itrintod on each voucher, the matters
complainodof may bo entirely remedied,

It having been reported that the Com
mittee in charge bad rented the Armory
for a dance on the Fourth of July against
tho wishes of the military company, I
wish to make this statement in connec
tion therewith : The military company
voted against having a dance as a com
pany, but it was suggested and sanc
tion was given by the company that the
committee could rent the Armory for
that purpose. This the committee did
then and thero, giving to others the re
fusal of the Armory on the Fourtb for
dancing purposes.
