Workmen's Act Rates fixed
Toronto, Dee. 13.—Notices of the
workmen's compensation act as-
sessment, many of which were yes
terday delivered to employers, in-
dicate that the rates are in many
cases lower than those in tiew
York, Washington, Michigan and
'O io The idea in
formulating the
rates has been to prepare figures
' based on experience elsewhere, and
''at the same time suited to the con
ditions prevailing in Ontario. For
the first year the assessments are
necessarily of an experimental
character, and in cases where it
is found that the figure has been
set too high a readjustment will
she made next year and of course
;where the rate may have missed the
;;mark some what and been too low a
'rising tendency will subsquently be
'the rule. The calculation in dicing
;the rates has been apparently to
`carry the compensation business
through the year on the right std;
and the figures therefore probably
err on the safe side.

despatched point to the following
