## Opinion text

Barney, Judge,
concurring:
I fully concur in the conclusion reached in this case and all that is said in the opinion of the Chief Justice, except the implied doubt expressed upon the question of the construction to be given to the paragraph of the contracts relating to liquidated damages. Upon that question I do not believe the plaintiff was chargeable with liquidated damages even if there had been no extension of the contract period.
