292 MARYLAND MANUAL.

If there are partly dependent persons at the time of the
death, the payment shall be fifty per cent of the average week-
ly wages, and to continue for all or such portion of the period
of eight years after the date of the injury, as the Commission
in each may determine, and not to amount to more than a
maximum of three thousand dollars.

The following persons shall be presumed to be wholly de-
pendent for support upon a deceased, employee: A wife or
invalid husband ("Invalid" meaning one physically or men-
tally incapacitated from earning), a child or children under
the age of sixteen years (or over said age if physically* or
mentally incapacitated from earning) living with or depend-
ent upon the parent at the time of the injury or death.

In all other cases, questions of dependency, in whole or in
part, shall be determined in accordance with the facts in each
particular case existing at the time of the injury resalting in
death of such employee, but no person shall be considered as
dependent unless such person be a father, mother, grand-
father, grandmother, stepchild or grandchild, or brother or
sister of the deceased employee, including those otherwise
specified in this section.
An alien shall not be considered a dependent within the
meaning of this Act unless he be a resident within the United
States.

SEC. 36. In addition to the compensation provided for here-
in the employer shall promptly provide for an injured em-
ployee, such medical, surgical or other attendance or treat-
ment, nurse and hospital services, medicines, crutches and ap-
paratus as may be required by the Commission in an amount
not to exceed the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars
($150.00). If the employer fail to provide the same the in-
jured employee may do so at the expense of the employer.
The employee shall not be entitled to recover any amount ex-
pended by him for such treatment or services unless he shall
or someone on his behalf have requested the employer to fur-
nish the same, and the employer shall have refused or
neglected to do so. All fees and other charges for such treat-
ment and services shall be subject to regulations by the Com-
mission, and shall be limited to such charges as prevail in the
same community for similar treatment of injured persons of a
like standard of living, and in case death ensues from the in-
jury within two years, reasonable funeral expenses shall be
allowed not to exceed the sum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00).
