The measure just enacted allows qualified firms to secure reduced rates (2.4 percent or less) when their reserves reach 2 percent of their avenge annual pay rolls, am' they will be entitled to the lowest rale of 0 3 percent wiicn their re serves are over 10 percent. Pro visions for additional voluntary contributions also have been made.

Average pavments have gone from $ll.t8 in 1940 and $1(1.50 in 1945 to S0M for the 1950 benefit year. The new schedule continues similar limits from $15 to $25 for from 7 to 26 weeks a year, but the maximum will he reached bv workers earn ing $1,950 in their base year la stead ot $2,600.
