241 A.D. 609 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1934
Judgment of the County Court of Suffolk county modified in the following respects: (1) By reducing the award of $42,612.16 by the sum of $3,838.44, leaving a balance of $38,773.72: (See original agreement, dated November 6, 1930.) (2) By striking out the provision for extra allowances. As no costs were allowed by the county judge, the court is unable to give any extra allowance. (Barnes v. Midland Railroad Terminal Co., 161 App. Div. 621.) (3) The claims of the three laborers Roberts for $70.62; Christianson for $566, and Fairchild for $60, should be paid in full, or, if the fund is insufficient for that purpose, judgment may be entered in their favor against the surety for the respective amounts of the differences due them. (4) The surety, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, shall not be discharged until the said three laborers’ claims are satisfied in full. (5) The defendant board of education is chargeable with interest on the judgment for $43,162.71 from July 14, 1930, to November 10, 1930. (Civ. Prac. Act, § 481.) It was liable for interest “ after the entry of judgment but not before.” (Mechanics & Traders’ Bank v. Mayor, etc., 97 N. Y. 355.) As above modified, the judgment is unanimously affirmed, with costs to appellants Sievers and others against defendant board of education and respondent Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland and disbursements, payable out of the fund. Findings of fact and conclusions of law inconsistent with the above are reversed and new findings and conclusions will be made. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Young, Kapper, Hagarty and Scudder, JJ. Settle order on five days’ notice.
