aluminum storm door installed.
The entire thing was guaranteed
for five years and I have a signed
contract from the contractor. The
door has never been satisfactory
The man finally came to look at
the door and did something to the
doorknob and lock and told me I
needed a whole new unit, he
promised to come back the follow
ing week This was six months
ago and I have not heard from
him since He kept the key chain

addition to the storm door. I have
called the office repeatedly to no
avail- Several neighbors who had
the same work done have had the
same experience. I pay monthly
installments and informed the
bank but have had no 4-eply from
them either. What can I do? E. S.
A. To precisely define your
rights, it would be necessary to
examine the documents executed
in connection with the trans
action. Assuming that the con
tract you mention was separate
and apart from the negotiable
instrument held byj the bank, as
is usually the case in transactions
of this kind; your proper action
would be a suit in assumpsit
against the contractor for breach
of his contractual warranty. If
the door is wholly unsatisfactory,
your measure of damages would
be the contract price of the door,
since you have promptly notified
the contractor of its defective
condition. Assuming that the note
was negotiated fo the bank'so that
it .became >a (holder in due course,
you would be required to continue
the payments on the note in
accordance with its terms. You
should take the pertinent papers
to your attorney for proper action
He can then, also, take the nee
esary step to insure the return
of your keys-

Q I had my car repaired by a
mechanic recommended by - a
neighbor- The bill was $36, and
because I didn’t" have the ready
cash the neighbor suggested I
give the garageman my title to
hold "as security. The man had
me sign a form which I learned
several weeks later was an en
cumbrance on the car-
Now I understand that the
neighbor has paid the man s2o' of
my bill and the title has been
transferred to my neighbor’s
name. The neighbor tells me I
must pay the garage bill to him
plus several dollars interest- I re
fuse to do this because I want to
deal solely with the garageman,
blit the. garageman says he will
accept money only as an agent
for the neighbor. Is he within his
rights’ R- !<•
A. Without knowing just what
was on the ‘form” that you sign
ed—and you should have known,
and kept a copy—a direct answer
to your problem is difficult. If,
as you say, you signed an “en
cumbrance,” the garage man
could not have transferred the
title to your neighbor until after
he had taken the proper action
against you, and you would have
notice of this.
If the “encumbrance” was orig
inally given to the garage man
you should deal with him until
he gives you notice of a valid
assignment of this claim to your
neighbor, and also evidence of
his authority to act' as your
neighbor’s- agent.
