Lead Opinion
York, J.
At the request of defendant Hesse, as contractor, the plaintiff furnished certain building materials for use upon and actually used in the construction of a building upon a lot of land owned by the defendant Mitchel. Defendant Mitchel had no contractual relation with plaintiff. Said materials so furnished by plaintiff not being paid for, the plaintiff, under date of February 21, 1929, which was within ninety days after actual completion of the building, filed a notice of mechanic’s lien against defendant Mitchel’s property for the sum of $429.75. Within ninety days thereafter, to wit, on the twenty-first day of May, 1929, said plaintiff and defendant Mitchel entered into a written agreement whereby it was provided that defendant Mitchel granted to plaintiff “ninety days’ extension of time within which to foreclose his said lien”. On August 19, 1929, plaintiff filed his complaint for foreclosure of his said lien, and upon trial it was decreed that plaintiff was entitled to a lien for the sum of $411.65 against the premises of defendant Mitchel, and a personal judgment for the sum of $429.75 was entered against defendant Hesse.
