Opinion of the Court
This action, which was commenced by Gate City Lumber Company, a corporation, against the city of Montesano, the Montesano Planing Mill Company, a corporation, and George Everett, its receiver, to recover the purchase price of lumber sold, and to establish the statutory liability of the city therefor, has heretofore been in this court, and a statement of the issues may be found in our former opinion reported in 60 Wash. 586, 111 Pac. 799. After remittitur, the cause was again tried for the sole purpose of ascertaining the value of the material actually used in the performance of the contract, or that was delivered at the work. The trial judge found that 65,294 feet of lumber, of the total value of $587, had been so delivered, and entered judgment for that amount, with interest thereon. The city has appealed.
The judgment is affirmed.
