"Wiest, J.

Plaintiff was a street worker for the city of Detroit. August 14, 1928, a wagon injured his foot. Upon his application he had an award of weekly payments. He executed a settlement receipt, which was filed with the department of labor and industry. April 16,1931, he applied for further compensation which was denied and no appeal taken. September, 1931, plaintiff filed another petition for compensation, alleging that: “Since May 20, 1931, injury has become worse and shows no signs of healing; petitioner suffers greater pain and is far less able to get around than he was on said date.”…
