Industrial Accident Premiums

Although the state law requires
industrial accident coverage only
for those engaged in hazardous
occupations, considerable pressure
has been put on counties, cities, and
school districts to insure all en-
ployeeS Of every character and de-
scription with the state. Some coun-
ty commissioners have placed their
own Interpretation on what con
stitutes hazardous occupations
and have paid premiums on a much
fewer number of employees than
others. Last year the amount OF
industrial accident premiums paid
the state by Lincoln county was
81 ,23200.
Tax Money for Re- Employment
Offices
Reports from II counties show
expenditures of $3.50 property tax
money for unemployment offices. III
is estimated that approximately
$4,000 was spent for this purpose
by all counties in addition to the
furnishing of office quarters where
such were available in the court
house. County budgets indicate q
much larger amount for the current
year. While the general policy OF
the State Unemployment Commits

furnishing of office quarters al
