I. The demurrer was properly overruled. The second count of the answer sets up what is .alleged to be the only contract made with the plaintiff, and avers that the defendant has fully complied with the terms of that contract. These faets, if true, constitute a complete defense.
The plaintiff relies upon Athearn v. Independent District of Millersburg, 33 Iowa, 105, and Cook v. Independent District of North McGregor, 40 Iowa, 444. Neither case sustains the plaintiff’s position. In the first case there was a written contract which was enforced according to its terms. In the second there was no written contract, and the parol contract was enforced because of part performance. In this case there is a written, contract, and no parol contract can be proven.
Affirmed.
