Head Matter:
Ulster Electric Supply Co., Inc., Appellant, v. Maryland Casualty Company et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant.
Argued March 21, 1972;
decided April 26, 1972.
Marshall C. Lipton for appellant.
Jerrold Morgulas for respondents.

Opinion:
The letter, dated November 16, 1967, sent by the plaintiff to the defendant general contractor — in which it announced that " [w]e are therefore proceeding with a lien against [the] job " —may not be regarded as the notice which section 137 of the State Finance Law requires as a condition precedent to an action on the general contractor's payment bond by a person who furnishes materials to a subcontractor. We pass on no other question.
