1Opinion of the Court
Cardozo, Ch. J.
These are taxpayers’ actions under General Municipa" Law, § 51 (Consol. Laws, ch. 24) to restrain the city of New York, its board of estimate and apportionment, and the board of transportation, from perfecting or awarding proposed contracts for the construction of sections of a subway. The wages to be paid by contractors, subcontractors or others to laborers, workmen or mechanics engaged upon the work are regulated in the contracts by provisions which are assailed as wasteful and illegal. The question is whether the complaints state the essentials of a cause of action.
