On Motion for Rehearing.
Woods, J.
A rehearing upon the demurrer is asked; counsel for plaintiff now insisting, notwithstanding the requirements and inhibitions of the statute, that during construction of a court-house or other county building, under a contract made in accordance with the law, changes may he made in the plans and contracts for additional work entered into, though the cost thereof be greater than §500. I cannot concur with this view. Under such a construction, the law would apply only to contracts for the construction of an entire building, and could be evaded and practically nullified in most cases by making, without plans and specifications, and without advertisement, separate contracts for the different parts of the structure.
Rehearing denied.
