ing you forms for making reports and
forms for making compensation agree
ments that are used in all cases where
the employer does not deny liability
for compensation. II an employer
denies liability for compensation or
Is doubtful of his liability, he may
present the matter to the board by q
formal application and until such for
NAL application is filed the industrial
board cannot render formal decision
in a case. We call your attention to
the fact that neither your city nor the
dependents Of the deceased employee
have filed an application with the
board for an award. AS the industrial
board understands the matter an ap-
pIication was to be filed by either the
city or the dependents. The board of
course could not file this application
for the parties but was forced to wait
for the parties to file the application
themselves. You OF course appreciate
that the board cannot try case until
1t has something before 1t to try.

Beseher Reports Case.
Following the deaths Of the two
officers. July s, City Clerk Bescher
reported the case to the industrial
commission but raised no question as
to the city's liability.
Later City Attorney Bond reported
to the board that he had personally
brought this question to the attention
of the board and had been informed
that 1t would be necessary for the ap-
peNate court to make a ruling.
On August letter was received
by the city clerk from the commission
calling attention to the deaths of
Officers Little and Stephenson. 1--WE
trust that you will see to it that COM
pensation agreement is made in this
case with the dependents Of the de
ceased employees without delay, or, if
payment Is delayed, that you will re-
port to us regarding the same" the
letter read.
To this Clerk Bescher replied that
the city attorney had informed him
that the question Of the city's liability
had been raised and that compensa-
ton agreement would not be entered
into until a ruling on this question
had been obtained.
City officials would like to have all
red tape severed in this matter to the
end that prompt decision can be rem
dered At no time have the city
officials desired to avoid providing
compensation to the murdered police
men if it decided that the city has the
legal right to pay such compensation.
