New York Court of Appeals

The Brooklyn Public Library, Appellant v. the City of New York, Respondent

April 16, 1929250 N.Y. 495

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the City of New York was not obligated to pay interest on mortgages or insurance costs for the Brooklyn Public Library because the contract limited the city's payment to sums "requisite" for maintenance, and the library failed to include those costs in its estimates for eight years.
