O’Hara, J.
(concurring). I am unable to distinguish this case from United Fuel & Supply Co v Manteuffel, 239 Mich 190; 214 NW 191 (1927), cited by Judge Holbrook.
I find the language of Mr. Justice Wiest controlling:
"Forfeiture is a drastic penalty but the lien law is rigid on the subject and bars equitable considerations.” 239 Mich at 193.
On the foregoing ground solely, I feel obligated to concur in the result reached by Judge Holbrook.
