J.I. Hass Co. v. Jones-Teer

PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.

This breach of contract litigation arose out of the construction by the United States Army Corps of Engineers of the Smithland Dam on the Ohio River, at Smithland, Kentucky. The prime contractor was Jones-Teer, a joint venture of the J.A. Jones Construction Company and Nel-lo L. Teer Co., Inc. Jones-Teer was required by the provisions of its contract to do all work necessary to complete the project.

This case involves a subcontract between Jones-Teer and J.I. Hass Company (Hass) providing for the painting by Hass of the steel gates of the dam.
