Cullen Contracting Co. v. Village of Long Beach

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 materialmen and subcontractors, so that strict compliance with the statute is necessary. Jenks, P. J., Putnam and Kelly, JJ., concurred; Thomas and Mills, JJ., dissented.
