OLD AGE PENSIONS.
STATEMENT BY THE PREMIER. [BY TKLEGIUrn.—PRKSS .ASSOCIATION.]
Wkivlington, Friday. The Premier makes the following announcement in regard to old age pensions. Compared with what was paid to March 31, 1902, there is for the financial year just closed an increase of only £3000 for the year. From this must be deducted £1050 refunds by Courts paid to the Public Account, and £700 clue in 190 , but paid this year, which reduces the increase to £1250. In other words the expenditure of 1902 has been held in hand. This amounts to a saving on the estimates of something like £10,000. The number of pensioners on the rolls on March 31, 1902, was 12,776, and the number of the rolls on March-31, 1903, was 12,557, a decrease of 219.
