   Order affirmed, without costs. We agree with the Appellate Division that, reading the policy as written and in the light of this record, as well as the provisions of sections 176 and 176-a of the Town Law relating to the powers and duties of Fire Commissioners, the board was justified in making the award to claimant. We decide no other question. No opinion.
