Opinion

Decided February 16, 1988.

Edward D. McKirdy argued the cause for appellant-cross-respondent ( McKirdy Riskin, attorneys; Edward D. McKirdy on the brief).
Edward G. Rosenblum argued the cause for respondent-cross-appellant ( Rosenblum Rosenblum, attorneys; Edward G. Rosenblum, of counsel and on the brief).
Before Judges PRESSLER, BILDER and MUIR.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
This is an appeal by the taxing district and a cross-appeal by the taxpayer from a judgment of the Tax Court based on an opinion reported at 8 N.J. Tax 520 (Tax Ct. 1986). The taxing district appeals that portion of the judgment which reduced the 1983 added assessment. The taxpayer cross-appeals from that portion of the judgment which set the 1984 assessment.
We affirm for essentially those reasons set forth in Judge Lasser's reported opinion. We conclude Judge Lasser properly applied appropriate principles of law and that his findings and conclusions are supported by substantial credible evidence. Close v. Kordulak Bros., 44 N.J. 589 , 599, 210 A.2d 753 (1965). Moreover, we find to be clearly without merit taxpayer's contention that Judge Lasser's decision violates the New Jersey Constitution requirement that all property be assessed according to the same standard of value. Art. VIII, § 1, ¶ 1(a).
Affirmed.
