The first complete year of the working of the Insurance Act ended on the 11th Jan ,, 1914. There has been issued to the County Councillors and to members of the Insurance Committee a statement as to its working in the county . From it we take the following : NUMBER OF INSURED PERSONS . For the purposes of the Insurance Act , the population of the administrative county is 114,269 . The number of insured persons is 29,598 , made up of members of approved societies , This 28,676 ; deposit contributors , 922 . shows an increase of 2,819 , as compared with the 15th January , 1913 , when the numbers were : Members of approved societies , 25,753 ; deposit contributors , 1,028 . There are 198 approved socieies in the county . Of these , only 10 have over 500 members , and 15 with membership over 100 and under 500 : - £ 371 178. 6d . , or 3d . per head for each in- sured person . A great amount of work has been entailed during the past 11 years in bringing the Act into operation . This has only been possible owing to the hard work and good will of all concerned . It yet remains to organise the work of the care of consumptive persons throughout the county . The question of es- tablishing a system which will secure the supervision both of insured and non - insured consumptive persons , is one which will de- mand the full co - operation of the Council , the Insurance Committee and Nursing Assoc- iation in the county . WELCOME TO ROSS . What could be more welcome in Ross than open - hearted statements like the following . Week after week Ross men and women speak out in this earnest way , and their personal experiences ring with encourage- ment . Mrs. A. Smallman , of 31. Over Ross - street , near St. Mary's Hall , Ross , says : - " My back was always aching at one time , and I used to feel tired and drowsy . I had very sharp pains in my back and between the two dizziness and headaches . TAN ROSS GAZETTE THURSDAY , APRIL 16 , 1814 . HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS . CYCLIST KILLED IN COLLISION .
