Equitable Building & Loan Ass'n v. Wolfangle

MR. JUSTICE THOMPSON (R. L.) Delivered the Opinion of the Court.

This is an appeal from a judgment which was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for one-half of the cost of extending a party-wall pursuant to contract. It was also against the defendants on their cross-complaint for damages on account of performing the work in violation of the terms of the agreement. The judgment was rendered on the theory that a city ordinance specifying the required thickness of brick walls, which ordinance was enacted subsequent to the execution of the contract, became a necessary part thereof.
