SAHUQUE REALTY CO. v. EMPLOYERS COMMERCIAL UNION INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA et al.
    No. 57846.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    April 30, 1976.
   In re: New Orleans Public Service, Inc. and Wallace C. Drennan, Inc. applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans, 327 So.2d 563.

Writ denied. The result is correct.

DIXON, J.,

CONCURS in the denial, and is of the opinion that contribution from the city is not available because its obligation in solido with NOPSI is imperfect, the city being only secondarily liable; therefore, although plaintiff might have recovered from both, those principally liable could not enforce contribution from the city. Indeed, if cast, the city would have a right of contribution or indemnity. C.C. 2106; Cline v. Crescent City Rr., 41 La. Ann. 1031, 6 So. 851; Bewley v. Maryland, La., 285 So.2d 216.
