The company carried indemnity
Insurance to cover this risk but il is
not known IN what companies this
was written.
The state law now reads to the
effect that a company must pay a
compensation to the dead employees
dependents Of a sum of one-half Of
his average yearly earnings, in weekly
payments covering 300 weeks The
compensation, however. is not TO ex-
coed SIS a week nor go below IS.
In a case Of this kind there must be
a tabulated account of the mans
earnings for the year preceding the
accident submitted by the company.
On this is based the amount which
the dependents will receive. Such a
process will necessarily entail consid-
cradle time and il is not expected that
these claims can be settled for some
time.
