SEARS WON'T RULE BUREAU.
Mayors Choice Year Too Old to
Get New job.

Walter Lincoln Sears. who has Just
finished organizing the new Municipal
Employment Bureau, which Is to open for
business tomorrow morning at Leonard
and Lafayette streets, Is not to be direc-
tor of the bureau. 1t was learned yester-
day. He may later.
The plans of the Mitchell administration
to install Sears as chief OF the bureau
failed last Wednesday. when Sears pre-.
scented his application as candidate for
the job. which WAS recently advertised
as competitive civil service position.
The examination for the new position
II Is said, was caused by the present in
quiry by the State Civil Service Commits
sion. which has criticised the Municipal
Commission for permitting the appoint
ment without civil service examination of
special women investigators to the Chart
ties Department.
When Mr.. Sears, who has been superin-
tendent Of the Boston office OF the State
Free Employment Bureau, presented his
application at the Office of the local COM
mission II was handed back to him by
clerk. who told him he was too old
by one year to compete In the examina-
ton.
You say you are 81" said the clerk
THE age limit is 30 for the examination
with % as the lowest"
Fortunately. Mr.. Sears has not given
up his job in Boston. He is on an in
definite leave of absence.

LOWER COMPENSATION RATES.
state Commission Announces Plan
for Reduction.

The announcement is made by the
Workmen's Compensation Commission
that it expects to declare dividends aver
aging IL per cent. on the first six months
business and to make q general reduction
Of the rates of the state insurance fund,
to take effect on January /. 1915. which
will bring these rates down to an aver
age OF 20 per cent. below the present rate
OF the liability companies. The reduction
will not be a general horizontal cut hut
"A systematic downward revision, based SO
far as possible on the experience de-
velopcd by the different classes of risks.
As present rates Of the State fund are
i-3 per cent lower than those OF the
companies, the contemplated reduction
will mean a net cut averaging II 20 per
cent
II Is estimated that in consequence OF
the low rates and dividends of the State
fund It's policyholders will make a total
saving of approximately one-quarter Of A
million dollars on the six months insur-
ance, ms compared with the amount which
they would have paid for their insurance
# placed with liability companies. On
the other hand. II is stated that employers
who placed their insurance with these
companies will pay si.25o,o00 more than
the insurance would have cost them in
the state fund.
The present number Of policyholders of
the state fund IL roundly 1000. repre-
sentng an annual premium In force of
about 81, 400. 900 and an insured payroll Of
about s2S0.000,0OO. This volume of bust
mess t. larger than that obtained by all
the sixteen mutual associations combined,
and IL is exceeded by only one of tho
thirty stock companies writing compensa-
ton insurance This record OF the state
fund is believed to he unprecedented in
the history of insurance.
