Regarding the settlement v.rlth Mr o Petrovich:, Judge Lacey
~

,'1rites under date of the 13th that he approves the plan suggested
in my letter of the 12th, copy of ·which was given Mro Taliaferrop
that the matter be taken up vd th Judge Tidballo

I suge;es·liee that

'i:ihe better way would be to make two payments, one for the amount
due under ·the compensation act .i, the other i'or the ~~1750 cash grat-

uity9 plus accrued rental, fuelp waterp etco, fm~nished, a receipted bill for the rental:, fuel, vra.ter, etco, to be given with

~~750 in cashp in settlement of' the second vouchero
Of course.i, Judge Tidball has no authority to pass on our
gra-ct.1-i ty, but Judge Lacey states that he approves of' informing
him in connection ,1ith the request for cash settlement of' the
amount due under the acto

OFFICE OF

Attorney

IN REPLY PL EASE REFER TO

NO.

Mr. H.J. Harrington
Rock Springs, Wyoming
Dear Sir:
In reference to the voucher of $750 . 00 au tho rized
to be paid to John Petrovich as a gratuity :
Mr . McAuliffe understands the circumstances under
which this voucher is authorized. It seems to me the
situation is a delicate one and t hat a general release
might or might not be deemed advisable .
We are to stipulate $750.00 by way of compensation
is to be awarded, and we believe that that award is all that
the v.-orkrnan is entitled to under the law, yet it is proposed
to give him $750.00 more, and not to continue him in our
employ .
A situation of this sort to my mind should be
carefully considered lest at some future time our own
act in the premises may be construed as recognizing a
condition borderi ng upon permanent total disability .
Of course I disclaim any such thought. Still, it seems
to me that it would be ~~se to have Mr . McAuliffe consider
the situation and to decide the language to be employed in
dravd.ng the voucher , and whether or not some form of
contract in the shape of a "general release" might be
deemed advisable .
