Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Anthony Skarpeletzos, Respondent, against Counes & Raptis Corporation et al., Appellants.
Skarpeletzos v. Counes & Raptis Corp., 185 App. Div.-, affirmed.
(Argued October 2, 1918;
decided October 15, 1918.)
Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered July 12, 1918, affirming an award of the state industrial commission made under the Workmen’s Compensation Law.
Theodore H. Lord and Alfred W. Meldon for appellants. •
Merton E. Lewis, Attorney-General (E. C. Aiken of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This appeal is upon the assumption that the state industrial commission has made an award of $8.655 per week, $4.32% to the father and $4.32% to the mother. The notice of the award sent by the state industrial commission to the parties so states. The award, however, as made by the commission is of $4.32% weekly to the father and mother.
As the award is conclusive and the total amount which the insurance carrier is obliged to pay is $4.32% weekly, it is immaterial to it whether it is payable to the father alone or to the father and mother. The amount is correct, being twenty-five per cent of the weekly wage, and it is unnecessary for us now to determine to whom it should be paid, as this appeal involves the amount only.
The order, therefore, should be affirmed, without costs.
Hiscock, Ch. J., Chase, Collin, Cuddeback, Hogan, McLaughlin and Crane, JJ., concur.
Order affirmed.
