Opinion
January, 1928
Award modified by substituting therein the figures $15. in place of $19.75, and $980 in place of $1,290.33, on the ground that the rate of compensation must be limited to the amount fixed by the statute in force in 1917 when the accident occurred ( Matter of Neglia v. Zimmerman, 237 N.Y. 131), and as so modified award affirmed, without costs. Cochrane, P.J., Van Kirk, Hinman, Davis and Whitmyer, JJ., concur.
See Workmen's Compensation Law, § 15, subd. 5, as amd. by Laws of 1917, chap. 705. — [REP.
