HAWTHORNE, Justice.

Breaux Brothers Construction Company, a Louisiana commercial partnership, instituted this suit against Associated Contractors, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, seeking to recover damages in the sum of $42,802.99 for the breach of an oral contract which plaintiff allegedly had with defendant to' remove dirt from certain drainage canals' in Lafourche Parish. After trial on the merits there was judgment rejecting plaintiff’s demands, and plaintiff has appealed.

The only issue in this case is whether there was a valid contract entered into by the plaintiff and the defendant.
