Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Improvements—Contractor’s Bonds— Notice op Claim- — Sufficiency. A notice of claim against a city contractor’s bond, for supplies furnished to the contractor, which mentions three improvement districts in which the contractor gave separate bonds to secure the performance of distinct contracts, pursuant to Rem. & Bal. Code, §§ 1159-1161, is so vague and indefinite as to be insufficient to support a cause of action where it fails to segregate the value of the supplies furnished on account of any district, and does not specify the bond against which the claim is filed.</p>
