Pensioners to Get Their Money and Teachers Named
Delay in Congress over a pension bill postponed veteran payments in Lawrence county. The $160,000,000 appropriation was approved Thursday and checks are expected within ten days once signed. The bill initially proposed closing eighteen pension agencies, causing delay, but a Senate compromise will close them January 31, 1913. Local pensioners have already received some payments, fueling speculation. Separately, preparations for the new school year include a complete teacher list for the city schools set to open September 9.
