Syllabus

<p>1. tinder the statute providing that “Liens shall exist in favor of any person who shall furnish any building material used in the construction, repair or use of any building * * * manufacturing work or structure, upon the said building or other property and the lands upon which they stand,” the lien can exist only on the buildings or other property and the lands upon which they stand in favor of those who furnish any building material used in the construction, repair or use of the building, &c.</p> <p>2. In a suit to, declare and enforce a materialman’s lien a decree finding that only a portion of the materials bought was actually used in the construction, equipment or repair of the building of the defendant, without describing or identifying the building or its location, and giving a lien on the power house, building and machinery and all equipment of the defendant, for the whole amount of materials found to have been sold in good faith for the purpose of being used in the construction, equipment or repair of said building, is erroneous, when the statute gives a lien only, on the building or other property and the lands upon which they stand for materials furnished and used in the construction, repair or use of any building, work or structure.</p>
