WHITAKER,
Judge, concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the court and for the reasons stated, except that part of the opinion which discusses the Supreme Court’s opinion in the case of United States v. Howard P. Foley Co.,, supra. I do not understand that opinion to hold that the United States is not liable-for wilfully or negligently delaying a contractor. It holds that the United States does not warrant to have ready' the site of the work or to do whatever it is obligated to do in time for the contractor to-finish the work within the contract time;, but I do not construe it to absolve the United States from liability for wilful delays. *121or those that could be avoided by the exercise of ordinary diligence.
MADDEN, Judge, concurs in the foregoing opinion by Judge WHITAKER.
