University of Illinois

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

If the operation of the power plant involved the use of power driven machinery, an employee therein would seem to come within the Sub-section 8 of Section 3 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act. (See Board of Education vs. Industrial Commission, 301 Ill. 611.) And as the facts herein stated show that a part of the duties of the injured employee included the repair of machinery in the power plant, an award is recommended.
