Southeast Portland Lumber Co. v. Corey

It appears that during the time of operation under the contract in 1931, both parties had a representative to scale the logs delivered at the mill pond. There is no disagreement in regard to the scale during that year, but there is controversy over the computation of the number of feet in logs of 42 feet and over in length. During the time of operating in 1932 Corey asserts that he was unable to have a representative at the mill pond, and had the same man, W. H. Pearce, who sealed for him at the mill pond during 1931, scale the logs at a service station on the route to the mill.
