Question of Surplus in Work
mems Compensation Fund
Discussed

Independents are considering the
introduction Of a resolution asking
for a more detailed report from the
Workmen's Compensation board than
that contained in the document print
ed and submitted to the governor.
The surplus has been computed on
the basis of March 1, instead Of June
30, the end of the fiscal year as it
is asserted it should have been. The
surplus is important, it is pointed
out, because it may show that the
rates are too high.
