Syllabus

<p>Municipal Cobpobations — Improvements—Contracts—Construction. Where a city had failed to acquire the necessary right to enter upon private property, recovery of damages by reason of the enforced temporary suspension of work under a city contract, which was afterwards completed, is precluded by the terms of a contract which provided the method of adjustment if the improvement could not be completed by reason of an injunction, for a waiver of damages by the contractor in such case, and a resumption of work if the court proceedings allowed it, in which case no extra payment was to be allowed or charged.</p>
