Majority

p. 917

Before State Industrial Commission, Respondent. In the Matter of the Claim of John J. Taft, Respondent, for Compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Law, v. Champlain Silk Mills, Employer, and American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, Insurance Carrier, Appellants.

The average weekly wage was found to be twenty-two dollars and four cents, the amount which the employer stipulated. In making its computation the Commission allowed fifteen dollars per week. Two-thirds of twenty-two dollars and four cents is fourteen dollars and seventy cents which should be the weekly compensation and to that amount the award should be reduced. With this modification the award is affirmed. All concur.
