Syllabus

<p>Contract — Delay—Construction of waterworks — Borough.</p> <p>Where a person contracts with a borough to construct waterworks, he is not justified in delaying the work because, prior to the time when any money was due him, the borough had not sold its bonds, the proceeds of which were to be used in payment for the construction of the waterworks; but if the delay in completing the work was due to a default on the part of the borough in making the first and second payments under the contract, the contractor is not liable.</p>
