B & R Drilling Co. v. Gardner

The question for decision is whether a contract for the drilling of a well to produce water for irrigation purposes is subject to the provisions of L.1939, c. 197, 1941 Comp. 51-1901 et seq., as amended, denying the contractor access to the courts of the state for the collection of any compensation due under the contract without alleging and showing himself to be a duly licensed contractor under the provisions of the act at the time the cause of action arose.
