Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Written Gontract — Incomplete—Parol Evidence to Supplement Admissible. A written contract for the performance of certain services and conditions which contained no provision as to the duration of the contract relation or the time within which the services and conditions were to be performed is manifestly incomplete, and parol evidence to supplement and explain the written provisions is admissible.</p> <p>2. Contracts — Not Abrogated by Public Utilities Act of 1911— Nor by Filing Schedule of Rates with Utilities Commission. The mere enactment of the public utilities statute (Laws 1911, ch. 238) did not abrogate agreements as to telephone service, rates and tolls, and the publishing and filing of a schedule of rates with the public utilities commission did not, of itself, operate to annul such agreements.</p>
