        "text": "Schuman, C. J.\nClaimant, James A. Chully, was employed by the Division of Highways, as a highway section helper, and on May 26, 1950 was earning $198.00 a month. His annual earnings preceding his injury on said date would have amounted to $2,376.00. Claimant was married, and on said date had two children under sixteen years of age dependent on him for support.\nThere are no jurisdictional questions involved, and the only question presented is the nature and extent of disability.\nClaimant, while in the performance of his duties, was helping to close the end gate on a state truck, when his left index finger was caught between the gate and the truck body. Medical testimony showed claimant suffered laceration of the left index finger with a comminuted fracture of the distal phalanx, and lateral ligaments torn at joint.\nAt the hearing, claimant\u2019s finger was examined, and, from the examination and medical testimony, it is concluded that claimant sustained a 30% permanent loss of use of the left index finger.\nClaimant lost 12/7 weeks from work during which time he was temporarily totally incapacitated. For this he would be entitled to compensation for 2/7 weeks.\nJulia Hertz furnished stenographic services, for which she has submitted a statement in the amount of $27.50, which the court finds reasonable.\nThe following awards are entered:\n2/7 weeks at $24.00 per week in the amount of $6.86 for temporary total disability; the sum of $288.00 for 30% permanent loss of use of the left index finger, computed at 12 weeks at $24.00 per week, making a total of $294.86, less $58.34 previously paid as wages, making a total net award of $236.52, all of which has accrued and is payable forthwith.\nThe sum of $27.50 payable to Julia Hertz for stenographic services.\nThis award is subject to the approval of the Governor as provided in Section 3 of \u201cAn Act concerning the payment of compensation awards to State employees\u201d.",
