Syllabus

<p>Corporations — Heat and power companies — Contract—Case for jury.</p> <p>In an action to recover a balance alleged to be due for heat furnished, it appeared that plaintiff agreed to furnish heat to defendants for $180 per year. Afterwards defendants were notified that the price would be increased to $225. There was evidence that defendants notified plaintiff that they would not pay the increase, and that the heat might be cut off.

Held, that the case was for the jury to determine the terms upon which the service was continued.</p>
