their activity temporarily, within the limits and on the conditions establish- 

 ed by the regulation, which may oblige all the farms and woods within 

 the spheres of these institutions to belong to them. Moreover a royal de- 

 cree, promoted by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and lyabour in con- 

 cert with the Ministry of Agriculture, after hearing on the subject the Tech- 

 nical Committee of Agriculture and the Coiincil of the State, may declare 

 compulsory the constitution of mutual funds among enterprises within 

 determined agricultural and woodland zones, when particular local con- 

 ditions or other circumstances make this necessary or advisable. 



The territory of the kingdom will be divided into insurance areas, each 

 of which will be fixed by royal decree and comprise one or more funds. The 

 Cassa Nazionale will manage each area separately. 



The needs of each year of business will be supplied by a contribution 

 which will constitute an additional quota of the Treasitry tax on rural 

 lands. 



Such contributions will be determined for each insurance area in accor- 

 dance with the extent of its land, the nature of its crops, the labour it needs, 

 and the risks of accidents, by means of tariffs in which the limit of 1.75 li- 

 ras per hectare will not be exceeded, and which will be established by a com- 

 mission constituted in each area, and approved b3'' a decree of the Ministry 

 of Industry, Commerce and lyabour in concert with the Ministry of Agricul- 

 ture, the Council of Thrift and Social Insurance having been heard on the 

 subject. For determined insurance areas, or single parts of each area, or 

 farms and forestry enterprises of limited extent, these contributions may 

 be commensurate with the land tax on rural lands due to the Treasury. 



The regulation will establish what part of annual contributions should 

 be assigned to the constitution of a reserve fund and how such fund should 

 be invested. The sums carried over from each year will go to increase it 

 until it be equal to the sum needed for each year's business, when the insu- 

 rance contribution will be reduced to the limit necessary each year. 



§ 3. IvIOUIDATION AND PAYMENT OF INDEMNITIES. 



Indemnities for temporary disability will be paid by the offices of each 

 insuring institution according to the rules which will be made by these insti- 

 tutions and approved by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and I^abour. 

 The other indemnities will however be paid according to the rules establish- 

 ed by the regulation, by- ad hoc committees in each insurance area and 



assume in the shortest possible time the mauiigemetit of the form of insurtmce with wliich we 

 are dealing, and such management was temporarily entrusted to it by the decree-law. I,ogic- 

 ally such tcmporarj' management should become permanent, as was observed by the central 

 office of the Senate when a judgement was given on the excellence of this fund's metliods as 

 compared with those of other authorized bodies, all of them being obliged to present to parlia- 

 ment a complete report of the restilts they have oVttained , no later than An'C years after the 

 decree came into force.
