    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, entered September 26, 1916, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term.- The action was brought by the plaintiff for the foreclosure of the general city tax of the city of Syracuse for the year 1908, assessed against the defendant, the Onondaga County Savings Bank, as the owner of two vacant lots in said city.
