In the Matter of the Claim of Mary Bouchy and Another, Respondents, against Strand Taxi Service and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.

Dependency award to father and mother of deceased employee. Evidence clearly establishes the dependency of decedent’s parents who lived, except in so far as he and his sister contributed, entirely by public charity. The wage-rate was properly fixed under subdivision 2 of section 14 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Rhodes, McNamee, Crapser and Bliss, JJ.
