"I find no reason why this beneficiary should be singled out from his class."

"He is now receiving the highest rate allowed under the general law for cases such as his, and he would be entitled to no more under the special act."

"It could not, therefore, by any possibility be of the least benefit to him, but, on the other hand, might jeopardize his advantages already gained."
