<br />~ipe o£ the Wa{er Department at Suzfo!k, and was e~ployed by Jge Nix~n, a eon~e~e~. T~e
<br />Industrial Oemmission has held that the owner of the property ms liable under the ~c~kmen's
<br />Oompensation Act. -
<br /> ~ I believe th&t this ease should be appealed to the Supreme 0otur~ cf Appea~ls,
<br />and have, acccrdmngiy, applied to the 01erk of ~he Industrialgommission
<br />of the record for th~ purpose~ The ~orkmen's Oompensation Acm 7equir~s such appeals ~ ~e
<br />made within thirty days ~rom the entry of the order, and, fo~ thms
<br />apply for the t~s~sorip~ before awaiting action on your psat. I reques~
<br />rized to perfect this appeal as there is no case in Virginia holdir~E the owner ±mabte tinder
<br />such circumstances.

<br />is assessed with a house and two lots, when, as a matter of fact, there is not now, nor
