Syllabus

<p>Municipalities — Municipal contracts — Bond of contractors.</p> <p>A bond given by a contractor under the Philadelphia ordinance of March 30,1896, conditioned to pay “any and all persons, any and all sums of money which may be due for labor and materials furnished and supplied or performed in and about the said work,” embraces in the class of persons entitled to sue thereon a materialman who furnishes material to a sub-contractor. In such a case a surety cannot be relieved from liability because the condition of the bond is more comprehensive than is required by the ordinance.</p>
