In the previous month of Octo- lber there were 6,686 accidents, including] 31 fatalities. The gures for the eleven, months of 1927 were 66,324, this being 408 more than the total number for the -year 1926. From this it would appear that the year 1927 will standout in thel history of thirteen years of workmen s' compensation in Ontario as thehigh point. :in accident experience, as there is every iindication that the total number of acci- {dents for. 1927 will run close to 72,000, .and in no former year have the-gures reached. 70,000. It is fairly evident that the total benets awarded by the Work-i men's Compensation "Board in 1927 will run in excess of` six million dollars.
