J. C. Glazebrook v. Hazelwood School

From an order of the circuit court affirming an order of the Industrial Commission, this appeal is taken. The determination of permanent total disability is not questioned. It is the method for computing the compensation awarded plaintiff that provides the issues here for review. Plaintiff, J. C. Glazebrook, was employed on a full time basis by Bi-State Transit Company and on a part time basis by Hazelwood School District as a bus driver. He commenced working for Bi-State on July 9, 1941. His employment with Hazelwood School District had continued for twelve years. Whereas he worked full time for Bi-State, his employment by the school district was limited to approximately 180 days starting in September of each year and ending in June, the normal school year. As a bus driver for Bi-State, his work commenced around 6:00 a.m. and terminated around 1:10 or 1:15 p.m. After eating his lunch, he would then go to the Hazelwood School District bus lot and would start his school bus route at about 2:20 or 2:25 p.m. The route which he drove for the school district the year prior to his injury would last approximately 3-1/4 hours. At the time of his injury, he was on a 2-hour run.
