Syllabus

<p>Appeal (40)—Decisions Reviewable—Amount in Controversy-— Aggregated Claims. In an action to establish the liability upon a bond to indemnify materialmen and laborers upon public work, in which judgment was given against certain claimants upon their cross-complaints, no appeal lies in the case of any cross-complainant whose claim was for less than the sum of $200, that being the jurisdictional amount on appeal for the recovery of money.</p> <p>Counties (46) — Highways (33) —■ Contracts —- Contractor’s Bonds—Notice—Waiver. Where a subcontract on county highway work was not consented to and filed with the county commissioners as required by the principal contract, the subcontractor was merely the agent of the principal contractor for the purchase of supplies, and not a subcontractor within the meaning of Rem. Code, § 1159-1, requiring notice to the original- contractor within ten days of furnishing of supplies to a subcontractor; failure to file the subcontract being a waiver by the original contractor of the right to such notice.</p>
