EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 23, 1886_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
I return without approval House bill No. 6718, entitled "An act granting
a pension to William H. Starr."
An application made by this claimant to the Pension Bureau is still
pending there, and additional evidence has been called for, which the
claim is awaiting before final decision.
I am of the opinion that the investigation there should be fully
completed before special legislation is resorted to.
