(RSMo 1939 § 3579) Prior revisions: 1929 § 3189; 1919 § 7249; 1909 § 8237 (1960) Where petition of subcontractor alleged that work in paving and grading of street and driveways for twelve contiguous lots of land was all performed under one contract, that the general contractor engaged to construct the buildings on the various lots and alleged that the contiguous lots were owned by the present owners, it stated a cause of action for a mechanics' lien. Ladue Contracting Co. v. Land Development Co. (A.), 337 S.W.2d 578. (1960) Where one contract for plumbing was made for a large number of buildings in a subdivision on property owned by four different corporations but which was controlled by a fifth corporation and the lots were separated by streets, they were contiguous within the meaning of this section and therefore subject to the mechanics' lien law. Schwartz v. Shelby Const. Co. (Mo.), 338 S.W.2d 781. (1968) The words "erected under one general contract" as used in mechanics' lien statutes are not confined to a case where the whole of the buildings are to be completed under one contract, but include a contract to purchase all of the materials of a specified kind for the buildings.
