Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
