WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION AGENT
1940]
Report of Workmen's Compensation Agent
December 31, 1940 Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my report as Workmen's Compensation Agent for the year ending December 31, 1940.
During the past year a thorough investigation as to the advisability of including school teachers under our Workmen's Compensation cov- erage has been made. It appears that the large amount of payroll involved together with the rate for this type of occupation would in- crease the compensation premium to almost a prohibitive figure. In view of the excellent loss experi- ence of this class, however, I would recommend that school teachers not be covered under the insurance now carried by the Town but in cases coming within the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act, that the Workmen's Compensation Agent handle all such cases with the cooperation of the School Com- mittee and the Board of Selectmen.
One case was settled during the year. On February 23, 1940, a regular employee of the town was operating a tractor for the purpose of snow removal. On that date he reported an alleged injury claim- ing that the long hours of labor, the vibration set up and the action of the tractor caused internal irri- tation and what his attending physician described and treated as a traumatic orchitis. It appears that this employee had a congeni- tal condition since birth and the insurance company's surgeon was of the opinion that traumatic or- chitis was not possible under the circumstances alleged. The insur- ance company felt they would not be justified in paying compensa-
tion on this case, believing that the condition did not arise from the man's occupation and the in- flammation arose from some other cause and might be of a re-current nature. If this condition should persist an operation might be nec- essary with all the complications that might come from such an op- eration. After investigation 1 notified the employee of his right of appeal to the Industrial Acci- dent Board but inasmuch as it was a so-called "borderline" or ques- tionable case he was notified of the following conclusions :
