Helen Brodman, Respondent, v. Merchants Fire Assurance Corporation of New York, Appellant.
    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
    September 29, 1960.
    
      
      Max J. Gwertsman and Saul Goldstein for appellant. Cheriff <& Greenberg (Bernard Cheriff and Arnold L. Greenberg of counsel), for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

The provision of the policy ‘ ‘ limits of liability $1400 Actual Cash Value Unless Otherwise Stated ” only fixes the limit of defendant’s liability, and does not constitute the measure of damages in the event of loss. There being no proof of value, plaintiff failed to establish the amount of her loss.

The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered, with $30 costs to appellant to abide the event.

Concur — Steuer, J. P., Hoestadter and Aurelio, JJ.

Judgment reversed, etc.
