admittedly an error waa aade in the plane in regard to the
height of the floora in the old building, and aa a r^eult
it beoaae aeeeaaary to nake oertain ohangee in the altera**
tiona and ronodellng of the old huildlng not prorided for in t)
the original plana, yet it waa the obligation of the plain*
tiff ,ae to th^ height of the opaee in oaoh story, to follow
the plans, and, although the defendant, throu^^h his archi*
tect, undertook to authorise oertain ihanges to be nado in
the oonstruotion, and, as the original oontraot proTided
that "exoept when authorised in writing bX the «rohiteot»
th«i superintendent has no authority to add or deduct from
the weric oalled for unaer the oontraot or to order any obang**
therein", the .efend&nt, having given no authority in writ*
ing aa to ehangee in height of oeiliags. was not bound
thereby. The defendant lays auoh etress upon th«^ proTlsion
that the authority for alterations must be in writing. The
'^t^X% •f£j» Ito a*3Xi:^XXsS9 wiit 3Mr ^Ti tf«t •WxaCq iMMijli^o AdJ
•Tidonae ■hows, ]iov«T«r, that, owing to th« defendant**
archlteota' error in the original plana, it 'became ne cess*
ary to depart radically from the original plans theaaelTee,
Apparently no new plana were drawn; but the alterationa
and the remodeling went on aa far aa the eleration of the
floora waa concerned, and went on by reaaen of mutual oral
underatandlng, and without complying with the proYiaion in
the contract that authority for alterationa ahould be in
writing. Under the ciroumatanoea we feel bound to aaaume
that the partiea, by their conduct, waired the neceaaity fer
written authority to make changea, and that the trial judge
erred in excluding, aa he did from time to time, erldenoe
which waa offered by the plaintiff to show thst irtiat waa done
aa to changes, occurred with the definite aanotion of the
proper repreaentatiTe of the defendant. Aa to the differ-
•noe in the height of the ceilinga, it may be material or
iiBBaterial. There is te8timi>ny each way. Certainly an
arerage diaorepancy of 5/8 of an inch in the height of the
aeoond atory muet be oonaidered, unaer the circumatanoca,
negligible. Of oourae, the 2-5/8 inohea in the third
atory ia more aubatantial. The whole matter, however, waa
lift to the jur y and they have decided against the defend-
ant. Counael for the defendant complaina of the refusal
to giro certain inatruotiona. We have examined them and
are ef the opinion that it was not prejudicial error to
refuse them.
Xt Ib alae claimed by counsel for the defendant
that the matter of damages ahould haTS been aubmitted to
the architeota for determination before suit waa brought.
We cannot agree thereto. The plaintiff aimply brought auit
upon anote irtiich had been Toluntarily given him by the de-
fendant. That suit, he was entitled to begin and he made
