HEARING - MICHAEL RINKICS INJURY The Mayor announced that in accord- ance with action taken by the B3ard at the meeting held April 14, 1943, Mr. Rinkics together with Karlton Taylor and William Ryan are present to give testimony in regard to the injury alleged to have been sustained by Mr. Rinkies early in 1940. City Attorney Powers stated that although the base was dis- missed by the Division of Workmen's Compensation due to the lapse of time before the case was reported, still the City might have an obligation and should determine the facts in the case. A letter from Dr. F.R.C. Forster was read stating that an operation performed on Mr. Rinkics prior to the present injury had nothing to do with the present injury except that when he returned to work his abdomen was in such a weakened condition that the hernia could have developed which is often the case, and although he is not certain that such is the case, that there is a strong possibility. Mr. Rinkics stated that the injury occurred while opening the large doors at the repair shop and that the following day he re- ported to Foreman Karlton Taylor. Mr. Taylor stated that he recalled Mr. Rinkics reporting the injury to him and showing him the hernia, but could not definitely recall reporting it to Timekeeper Ryan. Mr. Ryan stated that he has carefully checked his files but can find no report of the accident and has no recollection of such a report being made. The witnesses were dismissed and after further discussion it was moved By Commissioner Barr, seconded by Commissioner Norton: Resolved, that the City accept as an equitable charge the cost of the necessary operation, the balance of the hospital bill after applying the credit due under the Blue Cross Hospitalization plan of which Mr. Rinkics is a member, and the regular compensation rate during the period of recuperation, and Be It Further Resolved, that the City assume no further liability and waive no defenses.
