HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1075

Loss of Use. Permanent loss of use of hand, arm, foot,
leg or eye, shall be considered as the equivalent of the loss
of such hand, arm, foot, leg or eye, and for the loss of the
fractional part of the vision of either one or both eyes, the in-
jured employee shall be compensated in like proportion to
the compensation for total loss of vision, and in arriving at
the fractional part of vision lost regard shall not be had for
the effect that correcting lens or lenses may have upon the
eye or eyes.

Amputations. Amputation between the elbow and the wrist
shall be considered as the equivalent of the loss of a hand.
Amputation between the knee and the ankle shall be con-
sidered as the equivalent of the loss of a foot. Amputation at
or above the elbow shall be considered as the loss of an arm.
Amputation at or above the knee shall be considered as the
loss of the leg.

Other Cases. In all other cases in this class of disability
the compensation shall be fifty per centum of the difference
between his average weekly wages and his wage-earning capa-
city thereafter in the same employment, or otherwise, if less
than before the accident (but not to exceed eighteen dollars
per week), payable during the continuance of such partial dis-
ability, but not to exceed three thousand dollars, and, subject
to reconsideration of the degree of such impairment by the
Commission on its own motion or upon application of any
party in interest.

In all cases where there has been an amputation of a part
of any member of the body herein specified, or the loss of the
use of any part thereof, for which compensation is not special-
ly provided herein the Commission shall allow compensation
for such proportion of the total number of weeks allowed for
the amputation or the loss of the use of the entire member,
as the affected or amputated portion thereof bears to the whole.

Disfigurements. For other mutilations and disfigurements,
not hereinbefore provided for, compensation shall be allowed
in the discretion of the Commission, for not less than ten
weeks nor more than one hundred weeks, as the Commission
may fix, in each case having due regard to the character of
the mutilation and disfigurement as compared with mutila-
tion and injury hereinbefore specifically provided for.

The compensation for the foregoing specific injuries shall
be paid in addition to, and consecutively with, the compensa-
tion hereinbefore provided in Sub-section 2 of this section.

If any employee dies, the right to any compensation payable
under this sub-section, unpaid at the date of his death, shall
survive to and vest in his personal representatives.
