Sanitary District v. Phoenix Powder Mfg. Co.

Mr. Presiding Justice Windes

delivered the opinion of the court.

Appellant assigns three reasons why the decree should be reversed: First, that the giving of the two drafts is shown by the bill and the evidence to have been in payment of appellee’s claim, and therefore there was no lien; second, that the contract between appellant and Weir, McKechney & Company was made prior to the passage of the lien law of June 26,1895, under which appellee claims a lien; and third, that the notice required by the statute was not served upon appellant.

The first contention is not sustained by the allegations…
