Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Compensation Commissioners for the Year Ended September 30, 1916 Pursuant to Section 18 of Chapter 138 of the Public Acts of 1913, we, the Compensation Commissioners for the several Districts of the State, acting as a Board, hereby submit a report, being our third annual report, of our doings, including such recommendations as we think proper for the improvement of the Act and its administration. In this connection we repeat the observation made at the outset of our last report, that in view of the fact that various Officers, commissions and boards are required to make statistical and other reports on subjects more or less allied to that under our charge, we assume that, in requiring from us a report, the General Assembly desired a discussion of the problems confided to us rather than an analysis of social and industrial conditions in the State. By so confining ourselves we have been enabled to compress what we have to offer within space much more limited than that possible in many other States where the board corresponding to ours performs functions which are in Connecticut confided to other officials and other boards. The last year has been one of great activity in our several offices and the work has not only grown but has expanded beyond the expectation of any of us. This has been due in part to a more general understanding of the scope and effect of the compensation act and in consequence a fuller compliance with its demands, and in part to the great industrial activity in the State. This activity has not only retained at work the skilled workers of normal times but has put at work a large number of workers unskilled and not yet fitted for the tasks which the pressure of industrial conditions has set to them to perform. The result has been that the liability to accident has been greater than under more normal conditions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
