Matter of City of New York

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jun 2, 1908
84 N.E. 956 (N.Y. 1908)

Opinion

Submitted May 20, 1908

Decided June 2, 1908

Charles S. Taber for appellant.

Francis K. Pendleton, Corporation Counsel ( Theodore Connoly, John P. Dunn and Thomas C. Blake of counsel), for respondent.


The order appealed from is affirmed, with costs. The question whether the commissioners exceeded the limitation prescribed by section 980 of the charter by assessing the property benefited at more than one-half its value, is not passed upon because not presented by the record. The appellant should have moved to send the report back to the commissioners with instructions that they specify whether their valuation was made as of the date when title vested or as of the date of their report.

CULLEN, Ch. J., GRAY, VANN, WERNER, WILLARD BARTLETT, HISCOCK and CHASE, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed.
