1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHT, Circuit Judge.
On this appeal, we consider three competing claims of priority to progress payments earned by a contractor performing construction projects for two Arkansas municipalities. The United States claims priority to the funds under assessments and levies for the contractor’s unpaid payroll taxes. A bank claims priority under an earlier unrecorded assignment of accounts receivable. Finally, three individuals, who agreed to indemnify the contractor’s surety, claim, priority as subrogees of mechanic’s lienors and as successors in interest to the surety.
