Sarginson v. Turner Investment Co.
Sarginson v. Turner Investment Co.
Opinion of the Court
Action by William Sarginson against H. S. Turner Investment Company, a corporation, and others, to foreclose a single lien for labor and materials, furnished in the construction of four dwelling houses, upon lots in the city of Seattle belonging to the defendant corporation. From a judgment of dismissal, the plaintiff has appealed.
The controlling issue of fact is whether one Okey J. Gregg, with whom appellant claims a contract for the erection of the buildings, was the architect and agent of the H. S. Turner Investment Company. The trial court found that he was not, that appellant had no contract with respondent corporation, and that he is not entitled to a lien. No good purpose would be served by repeating the evidence. We have given it careful consideration, and conclude the findings of the trial court must be sustained.
The judgment is affirmed.
