People ex rel. Central Stamping Co. v. Barker

33 N.Y.S. 190, 86 Hun 240, 93 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 240, 66 N.Y. St. Rep. 864

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

It is conceded that, after the assessment books •were opened for correction and review, the relator applied for a ■reduction of the assessment made against it, which was granted by the tax commissioners, and the assessment reduced from $500,000 to $221,153. Subsequently, and without notice, and upon evidence satisfactory to them, the assessment was increased to $357,468.13. This, we think, was error, because, having corrected the assessment, they were without authority to thereafter increase is, except upon 20 days’ notice to the relator. Laws 1882, c. 410, § 819.

The order should be affirmed, with $10 costs and printing disbursements.
