empty the waste which he collected
from the streets. His cart was also

Action by Selectmen Under Work.
mems Compensation Policy

The heirs of John Roderick, who
came to tragic death by falling over
the embapkment in the rear of the
municipal building into the river, will
receive four thousand two hundred
dollars ($4200) under the workmen's
compensation policy recently taken
out by the selectmen for the town of
Skowhegan.
Under statutes enacted in quite re-
cent years corporations or individuals
having employees of five or more
must provide compensation insurance
to indemnify an injured workman
against loss of life or limb or idle
ness resulting from accident during
working hours. Municipalities may
or may not take out compensation in
surance. If its officials elect to do
so they can thus protect the employees
of the town. 1t would seem fort
innate circumstance that Skowhegan
had recently awaited itself of this
protection Tor its employees; decided
ly fortunate for the heirs at law of
Mr. Roderick 1t was perhaps to be
expected that Skowhegan would adopt
this policy in view of the fact that the
Workmen's Compensation Act, origin
ally put. IN force and the amendments
by which it has been liberalized are
largely attributable to the chairman
of our present board of selectmen
The sum is determined by computing
two-thirds OF the average weekly
compensation paid to deceased multi
