"Not to be officially published."
Action by August Vogelsang and Henry Vogelsang, composing the firm of Vogelsang Bros. Construction Company, against the Board of Education of the City of Cape Girardeau. Judgment for plaintiffs, and defendant appeals. Reversed in part, and remanded, with directions.
L. L. Bowman and Spradling & Burroughs, all of Cape Girardeau, for appellant.
Edw. D. and David B. Hays, of Cape Girardeau, for respondents.
This action was instituted in two counts. In the first count plaintiffs seek to recover the sum of $300 as a balance due on a contract made to build an addition to the Lincoln School in Cape Girardeau, Mo., while by the second count plaintiffs seek to recover $120.74 for damages sustained by them as the result of defendants' failure to maintain insurance according to the terms of the building contract, on the work which the plaintiffs were doing on another and different building from the one named in the first count. The case was tried to the court and a jury, and resulted in a verdict for plaintiffs on each count. From the resulting judgment, defendants appeal.
When plaintiffs had finished the building, the architect, after making an inspection, issued to the plaintiffs his final inspection certificate for the final payment; but when the time for payment arrived some member of the board of education raised the question as to whether or not the Capital boiler installed in the school by plaintiffs under the contract was a compliance with the terms of the said contract, which called for an "S-36-7 Ideal cast iron sectional boiler, or equal," notwithstanding the approval by the architect and the agreement in the contract that the architect's decision should be final.
