The New Lien Law.

To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
The public Through the columns Of THE SrAR),
having been made acquainted with the new lien
law (approved July 9, 1880, which justly protects
all who contribute either material or labor In the
erection or repair Of buildings would be thankful
for an idea as to how an owner can possibly know
whether all material and labor has been paid for by
contractor and sub-contractor, not always knowing
how much material, or by whom furnished. or who
performs the labor. The undersigned unders, ands
that the receipts for monies paid either contractor
or Suo-cOntractor are not sufficient The writer
contracted July l, 1884 to have house built, but
believes that the complicated requirements Of the
new law as he understands IT. would have Induced
the days labor plan.
What effect does the new law have on q contract
made July /, 1854?
Very respectfully, WILLING TO PAY tOnce)
