August Rocker contracted with the
Town of Union some months ago to
pave a number of streets with Belgian
block. He dumped $4,000 Belgian blocks
along the streets and received $1,000
from the town as part payment. Finding
that he could not complete the contract
he threw it up.
John E. Otis, to whom Rocker was in
debt. brought suit and secured judg-
ment. The Sheriff levied on the paving
stones, but the Town of Union refused
to give them up, claiming they We're its
property.
Judge Hudspeth and a Jury. Senate
that the stones could not be considered
as furnished to the Town inasmuch as
they were merely unloaded along the
streets and not set in place. If h
town paid Roeter any money on account
it did so Illegally.
Lawyer c. c. Black, for the town, ar
gued that as the contract was regularly
made and only partly fulfilled, the town
had a perfect right to claim ownership
of the paving stones.

it and rendered a verdict in Otis favor.
