UNIQUE RULING
 RENEDERD HERE
New Question Raised in Claim for Compensation
 Award

In an unusual ruling ill compen- Sation court today, Commissioner James M. Lynch holds that new condition can arise, causing trouble from an injury for which total dis ability compensation and compen- sation for specific injury has al- ready been paid. He orders that John Adams, of New Milford, pay compensation of $21 weekly to AL bert Morgan. of New Milford, for nine weeks and four days. The to- tai is approximately $200.
 Adams had already agreed to pay for medical bills and trips to New York necesSitated by recurrence of an eye condition suffered some years ago. and also agreed to pay for an artificial eye for Morgan.
 In 1881 Morgan suffered an eye injury while employed by Adams. Al that time he was paid compensa- ton for his time lost from work and given an additional sum fol loss of vision in one eye.
 In September of 1888, Morgan's eye began to trouble him again. He had to visit specialists in New Ha- ven and New York, and have ar artificial eye made, The employer agreed to pay these costs but hele that he was not legally liable to pay compensation to Morgan for tim, lost from work, since compensation had been paid previously in full.
 Commissioner Lynch rules, how ever, that the 1888 trouble aros' from changed condition of fac and that Morgan is eligible fol compensation.
