Henry Steers Sand and Gravel Company, Inc., Respondent, v. The Village of Long Beach and Others, Defendants, Impleaded with Philip Sugerman and Others, Copartners, etc., Appellants.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs to the respondent against the appellants. We are of opinion that the requirement to file such an assignment of contracts under Lien Law, section 16, * is to insure proper publicity for the protection of material-men and subcontractors, so that strict compliance with the statute is necessary. Jenks, P. J., Putnam and Kelly, JJ., concurred; Thomas and Mills, JJ., dissented.
