CITY MUST PAY PREVAILING WAGES
APPELLATE DIVISION sUsTAINs THE EN-
PLOYEs' CONTENTION IN TWO
TEST CASES.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down decisions in two cases brought
to test the law which provides that the prevailing
rate of wages shall be paid to persons employed
public works. In both the contention of
those who assert that the city must pay the wages
prevailing in particular trade Is sustained.
One case was that of Hugh Mccain. IT., who
brought suit administrator of the estate of Dan

the Mccain Justice Bischof tanned the
demurrer because the action under the law
of 1899 which, he held operated as a repeal of the
earlier law. The Appellate Division how ever holds
that the law OF 1899 did not work any such change
and that the duty imposed upon the city to pay
the prevailing rate of wages still exists. The in
terocutory judgment is therefore reversed and
judgment entered overruling the demurrer, as in
