The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals in an opinion to-day at
firmed the judgement Of the Ttria.
Court awarding judgment N The sum
of S6OO,O to the Hotel Woodward
Company against the Ford Motor
Company.
The action was for a breach Of con-
tract for the building OF an addition
to the Hotel Woodward, at broadway

SUIT was that there never was any
meeting OF the minds ~ the parl,a
rs to the terms Of the proposed Lac.
Of the addition and THAI thcr, was no
written memorandum of the contract,
if'conUract there was, as required by
the statute of frauds.
The court finds that the real prop
erty law does not require the contract
to be in writing, but only the memo
randuIn Of It expressing the considera-
ton TO be signed by the lessor or by
his lawfully authorized agent.
