        "text": "Fearer, J.\nClaimant, Nova Casey, filed his claim herein on June 1,1951 for an injury, which occurred on December 5, 1950. .\nOn the day of the accident claimant was fifty-three years of age, married, but had no dependent children under eighteen years of age. At the time of the accident, he was employed by the Department of Conservation as a carpenter at the rate of $1.50 per hour, and was working forty hours per week. The maximum rate of compensation at that time for claimant was $22.50 per week.\nFindings of fact have been made, and an award ordered under Section 19b of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act. Also, an order was entered to pay medical and court reporter\u2019s fees.\nThe award, referred to under Section 19b of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, which was entered on the 13th day of November 1951, granted claimant 38 2/7 weeks temporary total compensation at a rate of $22.50 per week, or a total of $861.43. There was also an award made at said time for $22.50 to be paid to Dr. E. P. Staff, and the court reporter\u2019s fees were ordered paid to James Moliski, his charges being $54.10.\nJurisdiction was reserved in this cause for the entry of a final order after a final hearing. A final hearing was had, and findings of fact made.\nThere was an agreement between the parties that claimant, Nova Casey, would submit himself to examination by Dr. Fred C. Reynolds of St. Louis, Missouri. X-Rays were taken by Dr. Wendell G. Scott. A medical report was filed in this cause in the clerk\u2019s office on July 10, 1953.\nThe Court has reviewed the file containing all the evidence taken at previous hearings, as well as at the time of the final hearing. Medical reports and the testimony offered by Doctors at said hearing have also been examined.\nAfter due consideration, it is the opinion of this Court that claimant is not entitled to a further award for temporary total compensation. Awards for medical expenses not heretofore paid are hereby made as follows: Dr. Fred C. Reynolds, $25.00; Dr. Wendell G. Scott for X-Rays, $20.00. The fee of $11.90 for the transcript of testimony at the final hearing, which was taken by Betty J. Beveridge, is also allowed.\nIt is further the opinion of this Court that an award should be made to claimant for the specific loss of 1/3 of the use of his left foot in the sum of $1,012.50.\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.",
