Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Laws (and Joint Resolutions) Of the Legislature of Alabama: Passed at the Special Session 1909, Held at the Capital in the City of Montgomery, Commencing Tuesday, July 27, 1909 Your appropriation for the Institute for the Deaf has extended the facilities of that institution, and the trustees report that most excellent work is being done there. The Boys industrial School at East Lake, with its new buildings on a larger and better basis for the care and training of the wayward youths who come under its management. The Old Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek is better cared for, and conditions there are more satisfactory than ever before. Pensions. You designated $100.00 per year for first class pensioners; for second class, $80.00; for third class, $04.00; for fourth class, $50.00; and yon made an appropriation of $350,000 per year to be added to the $50,000 previously appropriated and the one mill ad valorem tax, thus establishing the pension fund. These sums amounting to $829,153.18 for the past year are $352,255.94 more than the pension fund amounted to for the year ending September 30th, 1907. But the pension examiners, under the law, increased the number of first class pensioners from 147 to 1,791 and the total number from 15,475 to 16,696. Notwithstanding this large increase in the number of pensioners, the first class actually received $88.75 for the fiscal year 1908 as against $60.00 for the year ending September 30th, 1907; second class, $71.00 as against $50.00; third class, $56.00 os against $40.00; fourth class, $44.00 as against $30.00. On account of the increased number of pensioners and the advancement from lower class to first class, the old soldiers did not receive this year the full amount per capita for the lost quarter; yet they, in the aggregate and individually, received much more than in the year ending September 30th, 1907, and a larger amount than ever before, and the grand total for pensioners of $829,153.18 per annum evidences the State's gratitude.
