Syllabus

<p>CONTRACTS — INTERPRETATION—TECHNICAL WORDS.</p> <p>1. Technical words in contracts are interpreted according to their technical meaning. Accordingly the term “per running foot,” found in a street-paving contract, is held, under the evidence, to mean “per running foot of property front,” and not “per running foot of street.”</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
