Stratton, Secretary of State, in the enforcement of motor vehicle law, while pursuing a stolen car in the City of Chicago and in trying to avoid striking* a child he turned his motorcycle in the sidewalk and was thrown from it and as a result of such fall, he sustained injuries. It appears that claimant is asking for no compensation other than his doctor bills in the \u25a0 sum of Thirty-three ($33.00) Dollars.\nIt would appear that this is a modest request in view of claims that have been filed herein and that the injuries complained of were suffered in the performance of his duties and that his physician\u2019s bill should be allowed as requested.\nIt is therefore recommended by this court that claimant be allowed the sum of Thirty-three ($33.00) Dollars.",
