University of Illinois, 8 Ill. Ct. Cl. 794 (1934)

8 Ill. Ct. Cl. 794

University of Illinois,

No. 633

Opinion submitted April 26, 1934.

By the Court.

As the business of the University of Illinois is not that of maintaining and operating buildings, as construed by the courts, the service of a janitor employed regularly in the maintenance and repair of the buildings would not bring such employment within the Workmen’s Compensation Act. The case of Therien vs. Industrial Commission, 351 Ill. 166, seems directly in point upon the facts stated. (See Lombard College vs. Industrial Commission, 294 Ill. 548.) No award is recommended.
