Head Matter:
Firelands Sewer and Water Construction Co., Inc., et al., Respondents, v Rochester Pure Waters District, Monroe County, et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
— Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. Memorandum: We affirm for the reasons stated at Special Term (Livingston, J.). (See Matter of Ballard Constr. v Ross, 63 AD2d 99; Matter of Expert Elec, v Goldin, 51 AD2d 763.) We reject respondents-appellants' argument that chapter 336 of the Laws of 1978, amending section 220 of the Labor Law, should be applied retroactively. Any suggestion that the Legislature intended that the amend ment be so applied is negated by section 4 of chapter 336 which states that the amendment "shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law." (See Matter of Deutsch v Catherwood, 31 NY2d 487; Matter of Ayman v Teachers' Retirement Bd. of City of N. Y., 9 NY2d 119.) (Appeals from judgment of Monroe Supreme Court — article 78.) Present— Moule, J. P., Simons, Dillon, Hancock,. Jr., and Schnepp, JJ.
