COMPENSATION FINRING Further Payments Denied Sylvester Kowalska as He Has Remarried. In the case of Sylvester Kowalska of Webster against the Ashland Cotton Co. of Jewett City, Compensation Commissioner J. J. Donohue has de- cided the case as follows: A voluntary agreement was effected on Sept. 24, 1914, and signed by the ciaimant as administrator of his wife's estate, by which agreement said Syl- vester Kowaiska was to receive com- pensation at the rate of $5 weekly pay- ments te be made everv four weeks by check. Said agreement was duly al,proved by the undersigned and flled with the clerk of the superior court. It is found that payments on the basis of the above mentioned agree- ment were made for some time to the claimant during his residence in Jew- ett City, but that he later moved to Webster, Mass.,, and payments ceased for the reason that the insurance com- pany were unable to locate the clatm- ant, the last check sent him having never been returned. The hearing was called at the re- quest of the claimant to ascertain the reason for the stopping of compen- sation and it is found that in the meantime the claimant has remarried and there i8 no living dependent of the deceased, Mary Kowalski. Whereupon, in consideration of the facts as found and in view of the fact that the claimant has remarried | be is not entitled to further compen- sation as his dependency has ceased aecording to Section 10 of Part B of the Workmen's Compensation act. Further eompensauon is hereby de- nied. « FUNERAL Oliver Rudd.
