SALE-Contract for "not less than 5,000 and no more than 8,000 cubic
yards of stone
to include all such stone as may be required" for a
bridge what quantity the vendor is entitled to furnish — provision as to notice
of the amount required.] The J. L. Fulton Company, which had a contract
for the performance of certain stone work, made a contract with David
Ready, a quarry owner, providing, "Mr. Ready agrees to furnish and the
J. L. Fulton Company agrees to buy not less than 5,000 and no more than
8,000 cubic yards of stone from Ready's quarries at Oil City, at a price of
$3.40 per cubic yard, f. o. b. cars Buffalo W. N. Y. & P. R. R. delivery; and
the stone to include all such stone as may be required for face stone, bridge
seats, coping and backing. If more than 5,000 yards are required three weeks
notice is to be given for the extra amount."

Held, that Ready had a right to deliver, and to require the Fulton Com-
pany to accept, 8,000 cubic yards of stone, if that quantity was neces-
sary for the performance of the work;

That the notice, required by the contract to be given in case more than
5,000 cubic yards of stone were needed, was intended for the protection of
Ready and to enable Ready to know how long he must provide for a con-
tinuous supply of stone. READY v. FULTON Co......

SCHOOL-Taxpayer's action · -the construction of a school building not

brought under chapter 301 of the Laws of 1892, to enjoin the board of educa-

chasing a site and erecting a school building thereon, is based solely upon
the objection that the board of education has not strictly complied with all

for a number of years and until he was suspended without pay, performed the
duties of an attendance officer of the greater city, is not entitled to the bene-
fit of section 1543 of the revised Greater New York charter (Laws of 1901,
chap. 466) which prescribes that employees of the city whose positions were
abolished or made unnecessary shall be entitled to a preference in appoint-
