Description
This is a suit brought by respondents, Walton et al against petitioner, Luther Transfer & Storage, Inc. for damages resulting from flood damages done to merchandise plaintiffs had stored in the warehouse belonging to defendant. The warehouse was situated in a low area of the City of Lubbock, Texas. Plaintiffs had rented from defendant at a rate of $20.00 per month a compartment or locker in the basement of defendants warehouse. The locker was used by plaintiffs to store mens suits and other articles of merchandise. The door to the locker was equipped with a hasp and loop whereby it could be locked. Plaintiffs placed their lock on the locker and gave a key to the defendant, and themselves kept keys which would open the lock and afford entrance to the storage room or locker. When goods were taken to be stored in the locker, one of plaintiffs or an agent of plaintiffs would accompany the goods to the storage space and help unload the merchandise to be stored. The defendant would sent a truck for the goods upon call from plaintiffs, and transport them to the storage locker. Also, when plaintiffs desired goods to be brought out of storage to their place of business, they would telephone defendant employees at the warehouse, who would take the key which they had and unlock the locker, take out the desired articles, lock the door to the storage locker, and deliver the goods to plaintiffs place of business. Defendant charged plaintiffs drayage on all goods transported by them, and thus drayage was paid by plaintiffs in addition to the $20.00 monthly rental paid for the locker space.
