The plaintiffs entered into a contract with the defendant board for the construction of sewers in the city of New Orleans, they furnishing the materials, and they gave a bond conditioned to hold said board harmless against all suits that might grow out of the execution of the contract. TO protect the surety on the bond plaintiffs deposited $6,500 of mortgage notes. These notes were to be returned only upon the cancellation of the bond or the completion of the contract. On February 2, 1904, the defendant board took the contract away from plaintiffs after it had been partially executed.
