Supreme Court of Iowa September 26, 1930, No. 39941. (Hoffman v. City of Muscatine)

lead-opinion

Evans, J.

The petition predicates a charge of fraud mainly upon the fact that the bidding contractor, Warren Brothers Company, was the patentee of the paving mixture, which was to be used in the performance of the contract. Preliminary to a more detailed statement, the salient facts of the case may be stated very briefly.
