Head Matter:
William H. Lloyd, Appellant, v. W. E. Hedger Transportation Corporation, Respondent, Impleaded with Others.
(Argued January 10, 1936;
decided March 17, 1936.)
Philip A. Sullivan and John R. Weaver for appellant.
Clayton M. Smith and Fred Van Aernam for respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event, on the ground that the agreement of May 13, 1933, imposed upon defendant W. E. Hedger Transportation Corporation the obligation to keep the barge in a reasonably safe condition and that the evidence created an issue of fact in respect to its failure to comply with that obligation. No opinion.
