Per Curiam
(on motion for rehearing). Several of the respondents have pointed out on this motion for rehearing that after paying the lienable claims there will remain $6,146.42 in the fund held by the state. The unpaid claims of respondents having no lien rights total $9,829.26. It is urged that it would be inequitable for the circuit court to turn oyer the $6,146.42 to the principal contractor, Voigt, he having failed to appeal and having waived the provisions of his contract with Volck regarding a bond.
The movants are concerned that our opinion, together with the mandate of this court, will preclude the circuit court from making an equitable distribution of the balance of the fund. The appellant Hartford Accident & Indemnity Company has also indicated its request that provision be made for its costs and disbursements.
It was not the intention of our original opinion to foreclose the circuit court from determining the costs and also the relative interests of the parties to share in the remaining funds held by the state.
The motion for rehearing is denied, without costs.
