(March 19, 1952.)
State Storm Window Co., Inc., Appellant, v. Ernest Herder et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Memorandum: In our opinion the contract is so indefinite as to be unenforeible. All concur, except Piper, J., who dissents in part and votes for reversal of the order insofar as it grants the defendants' motion, in the following memorandum : There is an implied warranty that the windows, screens, and vents to be constructed under the terms of the contract were to be constructed in good and workmanlike manner and suitable for the purpose for which they were constructed. The answer raises the question of fact as to whether or not they were so constructed. (Bowser & Co. v. McCormack, 230 App. Div. 303, 305; Matter of Casualty Co. [Bliss Co. Claim], 250 N. Y. 410, 416.) The answer also contains allegations of fraud which are susceptible of oral proof. I do not find the contract indefinite in any material respect. (Appeal from an order denying plaintiff's motion to strike out defendants' answer and for summary judgment, and granting defendants' cross motion to dismiss plaintiff's complaint.) Present — Taylor, P. J., MeCurn, Kimball, Piper and Wheeler, JJ.
