In the Matter of the Claim of Edward Polhill, Respondent, against Masell Mfg. Co. et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.

Appeal from an award of compensation made by the Workmen’s Compensation Board for 100% permanent loss of use of claimant’s right thumb. Claimant sustained accidental injuries which required the amputation of the distal phalange and a part of the proximal phalange of his right thumb. The board has found that the effects of his injuries constituted a 100% permanent loss of the use of the thumb. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Brewster, Foster, Russell and Deyo, JJ.
