PENSIONS CAN'T AID POOR FARM CROSN. IS VIEW Requirements Rigid, Point Out Commissioners in Making Plans. Establishment of an old-age pension system in Marion county is not exported to relieve materially over-> crowded conditions at the county poor f a rm. This opinion was expressed today by county commissioners, as they began working out details of a pension system, as provided in an act passed by the 1933 Indiana general assembly.

Although .applications will be received after that date, no pensions will be available before Jan. 1, 1934. Citing rigid qualifications of the pension act.

Commissioners will fix amount of the pension with due regard to conditions of each applicant. No pensioner shall receive more than sls a month when added to any other Income of the applicant. Duty of investigating applicants falls upon commissioners. Tire county auditor will serve as clerk of the pension board. Requirements Are Rigid Tire law permits commissioners to appoint, an investigator for each 500 applicants. This plan may not be followed in ihis county, Vorhies stated.
