AYETTSDEATH

BIGLUMP sum
Second Fatality Since Work
mems Compensation Be-
came Effective

With the death on last Monday of
John X. Aylett. an employee of the
city and county garbage department
fatally injured while at work. the mu-
nicipality may be required, under the
employers liability act, to pay com
pensation to his widow and children.
AyIett's three children were adopt
ed, but this makes no difference as
the law recognizes an adopted child
just as fully as 1t does a natural one.
According to the law three or more
dependent children, and a widow, are
entitled to so per< cent of the en-
ploye's average weekly wages for six
years. or approximately $4,000 in Ay-
let's case, his daily wages being $3.50.
Compensation periods for widow
extend for six years, or until death or
remarriage, while for a child they are
to last to the age of IL years, but in
case of child incapable of self
support and unmarried, as long as so
incapable, but in no case to eXceed~l0i
weeks beyond the age of Is.
Funeral expenses not TO exceed $10e
can be collected from the employer.
Dependency is defined for children
as being under Is years of age, or in
capable of self-support and unmar-
ried, whether actually dependent upon
the deceased or not. -.
In case of widow dependency con-
sists in having lived with the deceased
or actually dependent wholly or par
tally, upon him.
Aylett's death is the second one
among city employees since the La.
bility act went into effect. The first
vas that of Sam Pun, who died few
days ago as the result of being hit
