Description
CARROLL, J. The employee, an iron worker, was severely injured while at work for the employer in wrecking a power plant of the Boston Elevated Railway Company, in Cambridge, on April 2, 1930. He was awarded compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Statute (G. L. c. 152, § 1 et seq. as amended). From the decree of the superior court the insurer appealed. The Industrial Accident Board found that Julius Zimble, the employer, carried on the hay, grain and junk business as one enterprise. A policy of insurance dated August 1, 1929, insured Zimble until August 1, 1930. It was stipulated in the declarations, which formed a part of the policy, that the business of Zimble was 'hay, grain and feed dealers' in Chelsea. No mention was made of junk and there is nothing in the policy to indicate that dealing in junk was any part of the insured's business. From the Conclusion reached by the board we infer that it found the work of tearing down the power plant was so connected with dealing in junk as to form a part of the employer's junk business.
