Section 3.—The total number of Teachers contributing to the Teachers' Pensions Fill
March 31st, 1930, was 3,664.
Section 4-—On March 31st, 1930, 200 Teachers throughout the Province were contributing
at a rate greater than 4 per cent, pursuant to the provisions of this section.
Section 6.—There were 3 contributors making special voluntary contributions as at March
31st, 1930.
Section 8.—Applications were considered by the Teachers' Pensions Board and Orders made
for 91 contributors, under the provisions of this section.
Section 14 (a), (b).—During the period April 1st, 1929, to March 31st, 1930, pensions were
granted by the Teachers' Pensions Board to 2 Teachers.
Section 17.—One Teacher died and an allowance was granted to the widow in accordance
with the provisions of this section.
Section 21.—One Teacher died during the year and refund was made to the legal representative.

rights pursuant to the provisions of this section.
Section 37.—Six Teachers were granted pensions pursuant to the provisions of this section.
AA'ith the coming into effect of the British Columbia " Teachers' Pensions Act," a medium
has been provided for the granting of a pension to those members of the Teaching Service who
have, after long years of faithful service and devotion to duty, well earned a quiet and happy
retirement, free, as far as possible, from care and financial worries.
AAliile it is much too soon to judge the merits or demerits of the scheme as a whole, it is
gratifying to report that the administrative machinery is working smoothly and so far without
complaint.
The necessary accounting and filing systems having been installed, the work of collecting
the service records of nearly 4,000 Teachers has been completed, and the office of the Commission
is now equipped with the record (personal file and individual account) of each contributor under
the Act. Mention must be made of the co-operative spirit evinced by the various officials
responsible for the submission of the monthly salary lists and contributions to the office of
the Commission. This co-operation is prized and appreciated.
Throughout the year eight meetings of the Teachers' Pensions Board were held, there being
many problems arising from time to time. Full attendance of the members of the Board at all
meetings is recorded. Applications for pension were received from, or on behalf of, nine members
of the Teaching Service, and after due consideration by the Board, pensions were granted in each
case. Ninety-one requests were received and dealt with, pursuant to the provisions of section 8
of the Act. This section provides that in the case of a member of the Teaching Service who was
not employed on April 1st, 1929 (the date when the Act came into effect), the Teachers' Pensions
Board may make an order granting the teacher (upon the submission of satisfactory evidence)
the status of a Teacher employed as on that date.
Certain amendments, more or less of a technical nature, intended to smooth the way of
administration, were submitted and approved during the 1930 session of the Legislature.
