The claim is for the sum of $30.00 for injury to claimant's car, and, according to a letter filed by the managing officer of the Dixon State Hospital, the claimant should be reimbursed for the price of a new fender and labor in placing it.

Therefore the court recommends that the claimant be allowed the sum of $30.00.
