Opinion

McRAUGHRIN, J.

Proceedings were instituted by the city of New York to acquire title to certain lands on Amsterdam avenue, between 139th and 140th streets, owned by the respondent, Hay. After the commencement of such proceedings an offer was made under section 1436 of the Greater New York charter to sell this land to the city for the sum of $60,000. The offer was made January 9, 1905, and was signed, “James R. Play, by Joseph A. Flannery, His Attorney.” The offer was rejected, and title subsequently acquired by the city, for which an award was made to Hay of $69,183. Thereafter a motion was made on behalf of Hay, under section 1436c of the Greater New York charter (Laws 1901, p. 609, c. 466), to tax his costs in the proceeding and for an extra allowance. The motion was granted, and his costs were directed to be taxed as in an action, together with an extra allowance of $500, and the city has appealed.

For the reasons assigned in the opinion delivered on the appeal from an order in a similar proceeding, in which costs and an extra allowance •were allowed to John O. Baker, decided herewith (98 N. Y. Supp. 331), the order appealed from must be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion denied, with $10 costs.

All concur.
