1454 LAWS OF MARYLAND.

If there are partly dependent persons at the time of the death,
the payment shall be fifty per cent, of the average weekly
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 employe: A wife or in-
valid husband ("Invalid" meaning one physically or mentally
incapacitated from earning), a child or children under the age
of sixteen years (or over said age if physically or mentally in-
capacitated from earning) living with or dependent upon the
parent at the time of the injury or death.

In all other cases, questions of dependency, in whole or in

not be entitled to recover any amount expended by him for

behalf have requested the employer to furnish the same, and
the employer shall have refused or neglected to do so. All fees
and other charges for such treatment and services shall be sub-
ject to regulations by the Commission, and shall be limited
to such charges as prevail in the same community for similar
