This matter is before us on petition for rehearing to reconsider our order of May 4, 1942, in which we said: 'It is ordered that the Attorney's fee of $25.00 allowed to said Attorneys by the Industrial Commission is hereby approved; that a fee for said Attorneys for prosecuting said appeal in the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida, is hereby fixed and allowed in the sum of $75.00 and that the handling of said appeal in this court be and the same is hereby fixed and allowed in the sum of $50.00, and that such amount be paid by appellant and its insurance carrier.' After considering the petition and authorities cited in support of the contentions of the petitioner, we are of the opinion that the rehearing should be granted and the said order should be modified to harmonize with the views expressed in our opinion and order in the case of Hardware Mutual Casualty Co. et al. v. Mrs. Ruby Carlton et al., 9 So.2d 359 this day filed.
It is so ordered.
