    (No. 1516
    Hillman F. Spencer, Claimant, vs. State of Illinois, Respondent.
    
      Opinion filed December 18, 1930.
    
    Capps & Weaver, for claimant.
    Oscar B. Carlstrom, Attorney General; Roy D. Johnson, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.
   Mr. Chief Justice Clarity

delivered the opinion of the court:

It appears from the evidence in this case, that claimant was on the 17th day of August, 1928, and for over a year prior thereto, employed by the Department of Public Works and Buildings of the State of Illinois, in the Division of Highways and while assisting in moving a portable or collapsible office building from Kiser to Carrolton, and while engaged in his duties, riding on a truck, he was thrown from the truck, his right foot caught in a tire carrier, and dragged five hundred feet. His flesh and tendons were torn and lacerated.

It appears that the State has already paid claimant $350.00 and consents to a further award for injuries, etc., of $1,528.40.

It is therefore recommended that the claimant be allowed $1,528.40.
