Decision for w. c. Wilson of
Hallowell in Accident Case

4 decision was handed down Friday
afternoon by the Industrial Accident
Commission in the case OF Walter c.
Wilson, applicant, vs. Marston &
Brooks Co, Of HallowelI. employer and
the Employers Liability Assurance
CORPORATION Limited, insurers, order
ing that the sum Of s1s64 for travelling
expenses Re paid and that compensa-
ton for a period Of 100 weeks, begin
ming May q. 1916. be paid at the rate
Of 1914 per week.
While in the employ Of the Narston
&: Brooks Co. of Hallowell, on May q.
1916, the applicant received an injury
to his right eye which resulted in to-
tai loss Of sight. ON the date of injury
he received the 10Th payment OF week
II wages, or nine full weeks pay and
the sum OF $3.50 on March IS, which
did not represent the earnings OF a full
week. For the nine weeks ending May
= he received in weekly payments
total of S99.s9. or an average weekly
wage OF sl1.10. This wage computed
according TO the act, covering the pc
Rod Of employment would entitle the
applicant TO a pensation of 1874
per week for a period of 40 weeks 1t
appears that for the five days proceed
ing the accident this employee had
changed to a new line of work or was
attempting 10 do several kinds of work
with the aid of an assistant whom he
hired and paid independently of the
company. and for the week ending on
May -, the date Of the injury. he re-
ceived s92s. which amount must have
included one days pay as a shoe cut
ter.
Chairman Littlefeld of the commits
sion rules that as the parties failed to
show how much Of the 1928 was earn
ed as a cutter and how much was earn
ed al his new work. an average weekly
wage cannot be determined from that
which the applicant was working at
the time Of the injury cannot be COM
pared with any other, because no 9TH
tr like job is known to exist there
fore. the commissioner is not only JUS
tilted under the act but bound to take
an average of the nine full weeks for
which wage was paid. preceding the
accident and figure compensation ac-
cordinglv
Travelling expenses are not provided
for in the act. but inasmuch as the
physician furnished by the employer
advised this employee going 10 Bos-
ton. claiming that there was no hos
pital in Maine equipped with an ap-
paratus for removing steel from the
eye, the commissioner feels that he is
justified in ruling that travelling ex-
penses should be paid.
