Controversy On Payment
Controversy over the payment OF
compensation arose when, Cole, Tor
whom Hoxley was working the quar-
~, stated he had no compensation
insurance and was without finan-
ciai means. II was discovered, how
ever, that Cole was under contract
to the Sillinan a. Godfrey 90. for
1856 tons OF crushed stone TO be
used In the building OF O new road
ut southbury. The road under con-
struction ut the time by the Sill
man a. Godfrey Co. was O w. p. A,
project, financed by government
funds.
Government contracts for con-
struction when being awarded con-
tain the proviso TO the effect that
no contractor shall employ any man
not protected by compensation In
surance. This proviso also includes
every sub-contractor.
Insurance Taken Out
Silliman 81 Godfrey had compen.
sation insurance with the American
Policy Holders Insurance Co., but
the policy did not cover quarry OBJ
legations. The contract for the
quarry work was sub-let to Cole
who had no insurance and no H.
nancial responsibility.
taa NAAyanf oRtita0 for
Commissioner James M. Lynch. who
disqualified himself from the case
due to the fact his son represented
the claimant, stated In his finding
that the letting Of the quarry con-
tract to Cole was q subterfuge to
avoid the obligation and increased
cost Of compensation insurance
which would cover quarry obliga-
lions. Cole, the owner Of the quar-
ry, Is now IN bankruptcy but that
does not excuse him from the COM
pensation claim.
Two Hearings Held
Two hearings In the case were
conducted by Commissioner Noonan
before the release Of his finding
The hearings were conducted July
/ and July 20. The award requires
the payment of $2i for the period
August 20, 1895 to December l, 1886
when Hockey was totally disabled
For the loss of the eye he will re-
ceive $21 for 20e weeks and in adj
dition medical expenses Of $393.85
All payments due from August 20
1895 to date will be made IN q lump
sum through Attorney Walter J.
