Old Age Territorial
Payments, $20 Month
Uniform allowances of 420 par month
"tb men receiving aid from the Terri
torial old age allowance- was decided
upon at a recent meeting of1 the board
of trustees of the Pioneers’ Hone,
•wliich has charge of .the administration
of the allowance, according' to the Ju>
neau Emdire.
During the past bienriium there was
ao uniformity in allowance. This led
to some dissatisfaction, particularly
whsre several* persons-in * the same
Comjmunitvwere receiving allowances
for different amounts. It was also
difficult under the old system to acca
rarely budget the pensions.
Witb each beneficiary receiving 420
per month, the 4110.00©" appropriated
by the legislature for the nest bleu-*
,nium will just about -provide ior the
roll during the periodV" >:
New applications are being <eurefuliv>
examined by the board' before granting,
allowances,* it was stated. Ifttrticulaar
careis being takea -wrsee that 411 those*
^applying are American citrrenh.as re
quired uDder an aeftpassede-by the last
legislature. The board will also go
over the roils and ei«mU;»>nhe*'recordr
of‘those receiving* a'.lowtiflce#1 in- the
past to determine" thteir’idtirenship.

policy of allowances to woomen. * There
are but few women beneficiaries and

a negligible one.
