It is not out of place to add that it is of the greatest interest to the public in genâ€" eral and accordingly this part of the report is given herewith in full:â€" Interesting Facts About the Dome and Its Employees In this report I have thus far followâ€" ed the conventional custom of placing before vou the salient facts and figures which have to do with the operation of your property from a financial standpoint. Another angle which has to do with the contacts of your comâ€" pany with its employees and the place that both fill in the general scheme of things is of eaual or greater importâ€" ance. While mention of this phase of activities is often, in fact usually is, omitted entirely from a report of this kind I believe that shareholders genâ€" erally are interested in knowing of these things. I therefore propose to cutine briefly a number of company activities which collectively have been a source of considerable pride to those associated with your company. Sickâ€"Pay:. Inâ€" 1920 . Sickâ€"Pay| Scheme, entirely nonâ€"contributary as . far as employvees are concerned, was inaugurated by vour compzny and has been in operation ever since. â€" Under this Scheme an employee may receive 50% of his pay while off «duty due to | sickness or nonâ€"occupational accident. l Benefits ordinarily cease after six} months but in. special instances the ; period has been extended. As such schemes may be subject to abuse cerâ€" tain safeguards must be nfaintained | and for this reason the final decision | as to the propriety of making payâ€" ment in each case has always been reâ€" tained by the Management. It is a | source of pride with yvour Management that more than 98% of the cases have been paid. The cost to your Company in 1941 was $1k80984 during which year 484 cases were aided. Since its inception the Plan has cost your Comâ€" pany $226,878.06 and based on the exâ€" perience of 1941 this would mean that | more than 7,000 cases have been axded since the adopntion of the Plan. Group Life Insurance: In 1825 Group Life Insurance was taken out on all our employees. Under this Policy an employee is provided with life insurâ€" ance in the amount of $500.00 upon completion of three months‘ service. The amount is raised by steps to a maximum of $1,750.00 which is reached at the end of four years‘ service. This insurance has a total disability clause for men under sixty yvears of age. To date sixtyâ€"five families of deceased emâ€" ployees have benefited to the extent of $88,600.00 and twentyâ€"eight totally disabled employees have benefitted to the extent of $41,200.00. Over the years this Policy has been in force it represents an expense to your Comâ€" pany of $171,000.00. No contributions are made by employees. Timmins current cost of their pension credit, the remainder of the cost being borne by the Company. The Plan was deâ€" vised for the benefit of the average employee and for that reason no cognisance is taken of earnings in exâ€" cess of $1,800.00 per annum in comâ€" nuting contributions and benefits. Since pu ha three and oneéâ€"hnall the current cost tc been $59,058.61 and the Company ha The cost to the C credits for service prior | guration of the Plan will $550,000.00. . All pension handled by a Pension Tru been safteguarded in every Housing: Some one h thirtvy houses are provid pioyvees on Company property. "Ihere ha« been a great improvement in this respect in the past ten years. Such undesirable collections of houses as those known as "Cvyanide Alley." ‘"Black Shacks," "Little Italy" and "Mill City" have been torn down or moved from the property and emplovees who lived in these houses and desired it wore given accommodation in houses in our Dome Extension Village where new houses were built to replace those desâ€" troved elsewhere. During this period bathrooms were installed in the many houses lacking this convenience and much insulation work was done on all these houses. When the free services which are given to the tenants are taken into consideration the rent of these houses is from oneâ€"third to oneâ€" half of what similar accommodation costs in the town nearest to our mine. Medical Service: In 1937 the old dollarâ€"perâ€"month charge for unspeciâ€" fied medical services was displaced by a plan under which a group of doctors presented an agreement to the emâ€" ployees where‘y for $1.50 per month very definite services are rendered inâ€" cluding hospitalization, operation charges and many other items not preâ€" viously included. This Plan is entirely optional with the employees and over 90% of them narticinate 90% of them participate.

Your Company was very active in this respect and in addition to its financial support it donated the excellent site upon which the Hospital stands. It is interesting to note that one of your shareholders, Mr. Frederick W. Scivuâ€" macher of Columbus, Ohio, presented the Hosuvital with an endowment fund of $20,000.C00.

The building, as erected, includes a large hall which is used for local dances, badminton and public gatherings. _ Your Company‘s contribution met the cost of the buildâ€" ing and the community efforts proâ€" vided for the equipment, etc., which were considerable, because this rink has artificial ice.
