Workmen's Compensation 



As will be noted from the tables and charts followhi.u;, a new hi,<i;h in costs was 

 reflected in last year's report. 



During the summer of 1948, the most difficult season in the history of the 

 Department developed. 



The total number of claims increased to 494. and the total net cost to 

 $37,078.97. 



It is regretfully reported that there were a number of fatalities due to excep- 

 tional conditions surrounding widespread smoke and large scale conflagrations. 



To date, the annual average cost for ten years is therefore $18,985.61. The 

 average has consequently increased by nearly S2,000.00 due to the costs in the 

 disastrous year 1948.
