257 A.D. 160

The People of the State of New York ex rel. The Borden Company, Appellant, v. William Stanley Miller and Others, as Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments of the City of New York, Respondents.

First Department,

May 19, 1939.

Harry H. Chambers of counsel [Harry B. Chambers with him on the brief; Chambers & Chambers, attorneys], for the appellant.

Spencer Byard of counsel [Arthur A. Segall and Joseph Glebocki with him on the brief; William C. Chanter, Corporation Counsel], for the respondents.

Per Curiam.

The referee and the Special Term gave controlling effect to reproduction cost less depreciation and disregarded many elements which, under the circumstances of the present case, should have been considered in determining the value of the relator’s property. Giving due consideration to all the elements of value, not excluding cost of reproduction, we think the assessment of the building should be reduced to $400,000.

The order, so far as appealed from, should be modified accordingly, and, as so modified, affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements to the appellant.

Present — Martin, P. J., Untermyer, Dore, Cohn and Callahan, JJ.

Order, so far as appealed from, unanimously modified by reducing the assessment of the building to $400,000, and, as so modified, affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements to the appellant. Settle order on notice.
