period in 1924 there were 92 deaths this decrease is quite extraordinary especially when it is remembered that the number of industrial deaths in ontario has averaged oyer 0 a month for the past several years the value of these 46 lives can hardly be estimated but the reduction at least in dicates that there is a little more care and thought being used by all concerned- the total number of accidents reported to the workmens compensation board in the first quarter of 1925 was 12655aiso a noticeable decrease from the first three months o 1924 when there were 14144 accidents reported to the board- accidents- in the past three years have cost industry in this province in compensation pay ments alone an average of over six million dollars each year and in this manner have added to the tax burden that the province miistface accident prevention makes greater returna to the employee whose life or limb is saved than to the employer whose compensation costs ar reduced her tariff without
