Tha roport says that oa July 1, 1301, thero wero 5,030 appoalod pension cases on 1 with the board, and that this numbor oa June 30, 1512, had been redu 1 to 4,340, There were 4,233 appaals fied during the year, Of the 4,450 cases acted upon during tho vear, the decision of the commissioner was sustained in ¢ Action was reversed In 484 caces, 201 were dismissed and 408 were reconsidered by tho commissioner pending an anpeal. Iu his discussion of the pousion laws, Gen- eral Bussey calls attention to scveral de- fects in ponsion legisiation. Ono 1s stated to bothe inck of powor to eaforcs the reim- bursement of monoy issued through mistake orillegally. Consequantly, the Rovernment having no authority to cease s paviment, lins been compolled to submit to serious losses of monoy, which, having ouce beo paid, are irrecoverable under any rulo of departmental practice. A wmemor- able 1llustration of this fuct was given in a large numborof applications for increaso that were filed in the peasion burean daring the years 18si, 1888 anc which considerable sums of mor paid improperiy to certain pensioncrs tho authiority of the commissioner, in viol tion of Loth luw and practice.
