CIRCULAR.)
With a view to economizing the disbursements of State and Military Aid as far as practicable, the
attention of municipal officers is again called to the importance of making a careful examination of the
physical and pecuniary condition of the Soldiers and Sailors receiving aid under chapters 301 and 279,
Acts of 1889.
The Pension Certificates of the men should be examined frequently, to detect changes likely to occur.
A pension may be increased, it may be reduced, or it may be cut off altogether, and, in any event, the local
authorities and the Commissioners should be kept informed of all changes, that the disbursement of aid
may be governed accordingly.
Any pensioner or dependent relative receiving State Aid, who is known to be able to work daily at
fair wages, and does not appear to be in necessitous circumstances, should be dropped from the Return.
The Military Aid disbursed under chapter 279 to indigent Soldiers and Sailors may be largely
reduced in amount by a careful investigation of the cases in the spring, and dropping from the rolls such as
may be able to earn their own living during the warm season.
Most of the recipients under this chapter have pension claims pending, which are likely to be
granted between any two payments of aid.
These cases therefore should be examined before each monthly disbursement, to ascertain if
pensions have been granted.
Relieve the needs of worthy and deserving soldiers, but the dissipated and shiftless applicant should
be emphatically denied the benefits of this honorable aid.

SAMUEL DALTON,
