The West Virginia Building Company
brought u chancery suit against Saucer,
to enforce IL mechanics lien for the
construction of Il building, which re-
suited in Il decree in favor of the COM
pany to sell the property, and Saucer
appealed.
The court says:
1t is claimed for Saucer that, when
the mechanics lien account was filed
in the clerks office, the work had not
been fully completed, and therefore the
account could not be filed. and created
no lien. This objection goes to the very
root Of the plaintiffs demand. The
compensation to be paid the contractor
was payable in Instruments as the
work progressed. and it does seem to
me that the builder may. before the
completion of the work, file his lien.
But In this case it is not necessary to
go so far, as this decision does not re-
quire It, The work was substantially
completed before the account was filed.
The defendant had made certain pay
ments. He had taken possession of the
house, and there remained to be done
upon 1T very inconsiderable work. COM
pared with the total 1t certainly is
true In law that If there be n substan-
TALLY completed, though not perfectly
completed, contract. the claim may be
filed. and the defendant may recoup or
abate from the contract the value of
the failure. He can claim damages for
noncompetion.' He has no right to for
felt all that the builder has done If in
an action at common law the builder
would be allowed to; recover any sum
after the abatement to the owner of his
damages, for the noncompletion of the
contract. then in suit in equity he
would likewise recover. Justice is thus
done to both parties. If the deficiencies
nnin1pO1-tDnf no fl,,
made up, the lien is still good. But,
in this case, Saucer accepted the build
ing, took possession of it, rented il out;
and surely, under such circumstances,
nc must pay what the material and
work are worth,-in other words, the
contract price, with such abatement rs
the shortcomings of the contractor call
ed for. /; Is very clear that any re-
equipment or abatement to which the
owner is entitled can be allowed In
chancery in suit by the mechanic or
builder on his lien. When the contract
is entire, and the building substantially
finished. and 1t is treated by all parties
as completed, though some unimportant
parts be not completed, if the time lin
tied by the statute is suffered to elapse
before these unimportant things are
done. more especially If Intervening
rights in favor of 4 third party have
attached, the lien cannot be success

portant deficiencies as inadequate to

THE time is near at hand when
county politics begins to take the at
tention of the voters to more or less
extent, and the DEMOCRAT suggests
that the democratic county central

place for holding county convention.
Already there are several candidates in
the field for nomination for different
offices. The combined silver forces of
Barton county can undoubtedly elect
whom they please, over the opposition,
if they go at it right. In view of the
fact that next year-1900-will be

Declaration Of independence, to get
together insolid phalanx at the earliest
possible date and unite for the battle
of 1900. Barton county voters Of one
belief should ell unite under the head
of The New Democracy-the DEM
ocracy that, in 1896, cut loose from
the blight of monopolistic and corrupt
influences and stood brayely for the
principles of Jefferson and Jackson.
To bring this result about, We believe
the democratic county committee
should get together at early date;
should consult and cooperate with
those who have heretofore followed
the populist banner, Or the free silver
republican banner; and all should
have but one aim, that of unitin 3

republicanism that fosters trusts, con-
