The complaint alleged the following facts: On December 17, 1897, the village of Arverne-by-the-Sea entered into a written contract with the plaintiff, whereby he agreed to sprinkle certain streets of the village from May 1 to October 31, 1898, and also to fill up all culverts with water from his sprinkling carts, in dry weather, once every three days, and the village agreed to pay therefor $1,000. The plaintiff performed his work but has not been paid therefor, and has duly presented his claim to the comptroller of the city, who has refused to adjust or pay the same.
At the trial, plaintiff’s counsel in his opening made certain other allegations, but there was no application to amend the complaint, and the complaint was dismissed before any evidence was introduced. From the judgment entered thereon the plaintiff appeals.
The charter of Greater New York took effect January 1, 1898. The contract was for work to be performed four months thereafter. *421Such a contract clearly falls within the doctrine laid down in Hendrickson v. City of New York (38 App. Div. 480; affd., 160 N. Y. 144).
The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.
Bartlett, Woodward, Hirschberg and Jerks, JJ., concurred. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
