Col. Hugh Scott of the Veterans Bureau in a detailed talk, told of the many problems with which the burâ€" eau was confronted. â€" Previous to the last bonus rush they were flooded with work, he said, and thought they were busy, When the bonus loan deluge descended upon the Bureau his deâ€" partment was simply swamped.

Over seven and a half million dollars had been paid out on bonus loans by the Hines office, he added, and of the 4200 some 2700 a day were being paid. â€" Col. Scott «sked the veterans to be patient with the Bureau, that he assured them all work would be caught up by August first.
