The report OF General Superintendent
Khnball of the Life Saving Service ex-
hibits the most satisfactory results yet ac-
complisiIed
The average annual loss Of life from
1877, when the service was generally
June 30, 1896. has been one out of H.
aster, and the loss Of property 21 per
cent OF the value inperilled.
The cost Of the service for the year
was 81 ,4o1 800.
Attention is again invited to the mad
equacy OF the compensation OF the su-
perintendents OF life-saving districts, who
are charged with onerous duties and re
quired to furnish heavy bonds. in some
eases with a penalty as high as S5o ,OUo
An annual compensation of 81 400 is
deemed no more than simple Justice and
is, therefore. recommended.
