Opinion

Argued January 7, 1924

Decided February 19, 1924

George P. Nicholson, Corporation Counsel ( I.J. Beaudrias of counsel), for appellant.

Henry R. Barrett for respondents.


For the reasons stated in People ex rel. City of New York v. Keeler, decided herewith ( 237 N.Y. 332), the assessments under review are erroneous to the extent that they were increased by order of the court over the valuation fixed by the assessors.

The order of the Appellate Division should be modified by directing that the several valuations enumerated in the nineteenth finding of fact and the third and fourth conclusions of law, in so far as they exceed the valuations fixed by the assessors as stated in the fourteenth finding of fact, shall be reduced so as to conform thereto; and, as so modified, the order should be affirmed, with costs to the appellant.

All concur.

Ordered accordingly.
