The Board has made three schedule awards to run consecutively; this is not permitted under the provisions of section 15, subdivision 3, of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. (Matter of Marhoffer v.

(Matter of Bernstein v. Hoffman, 219 App. Div. 152; Matter of Quinn v. Fanning, Inc., 221 id. 687; Matter of Schaeffer v. Buffalo Steel Car Co., Id. 808; Matter of Rubenstein v.
