SCHEDULE ESTIMATED RECEIPTS AND AVAILABLE CASH BALANCES H 1,600 00 Othor expense of general control ........ Sharp Contribution Rate Cuts Set By State Commission Reduction in employer co n trib u tion rates have been announced by the S tate Industrial Accident Commission, effective July 1, 1960. These reductions will apply in 277 im lustrial and trad e daasi- filiations of Oregon business. Only 78 classifications did not qualify fo r base rate reductions, but rates in semi' o f these classifications a re already so low fu rth e r reduc tio n s are virtually impossible. Redurtiona result from the ex cellent cooperation of labor and m anagem ent in reducing accidents by establishing and m aintaining effective safety program s, both preventive an«l educational. Tlwse reduction» in employer contributions to the Industrial A ccident Fund will result in esti m ated saving» of approxim ately one million dollars per y ear w emipioyer» insured by the State Industrial Acculent Commission. The law provide« th at the State Industrial A ccident Commission Khali adju st em ployer contribu tions in keeping with good insur ance practice when their experi ence justifies such reductions. The new employer contribution ra te schedules mark the fourth re duction in S tate Industrial Acci dent Insurance premium rates since 1943. D uring the same period the various legislatures have In creased workmen'» benefit pay m ents un«ler the a i t fo u r times. W'htle the increase in compensa* tion for workmen is in keeping w ith the increas«« in th e coat of living, the dow nw ard trend In cm- ployer contribution rat«*» is more sta rtlin g by comparison. In all of the enumerate«! classi fications w here hazards have generally twycn high, the reductions have been accomplished because o f o arn n t experience ratings w ith in the reapectivw industries which prove that accidents can be p re vented through accident preven tion program s. The largest dollar savings will be refle« ted in the classifications of general farm ing, m achine »hops, logging, «awmilbng, pulp and paper uxanufactunng, prin tin g and p ublahing, road and street con- . 600.00 owanc the C r, 194 satisfied with the w ay the school ¿ □ system is conducted, if you think > ?? the fin e st men available are al is ready in the legislature, if you ITEM o believe the U.S. S enate and House 8. o f Representatives contain a dis tillate o f th e best ta le n t in the country, and if you think foreign policy doesn’t concern you— well, you nxay be unique but you’d Estimated Receipts from , „ .. $ 25,000 00 1.
