Further, there is evidence that the money *358awarded in a lump sum will be properly safeguarded by an investment in real estate by construction of a trailer park. See Hartford Acc. &c. Co. v. Black, 72 Ga. App. 182 (33 SE2d 278). The lump-sum award must be affirmed by the courts. Travelers Ins. Co. v. Williams, 109 Ga. App. 719 (137 SE2d 391).
