THE THIRD AVENUE GRADING CASE IN COURT
INTERESTING TO OWNERS OF PRoPERTY-From
the report which we publish elsewhere, II will be
seen that the protest of the owners OF property
along the line Of the Third avenue. between Six
ty-irst and Eighty second streets against the as
sessment for the regulating and grading o. tnat
thoroughfare, has taken a legal form and been
presented before the general term Of thc SUI
preme Court. 1t appears from the statement of
plaintiffs counsel that the contractor employed
by the Common Council to perform the work,
charged $4,000 for what another contractor had
offered to do for $4,000; and that the returns Of
some Of the important items in his bill Of expenses
were entirely at variance with those presented in
bis estimate. The assessment has, Il is said, been
paid under protest. but the plaintiffs are deter
mined to enforce their rights and expose the way
in which the contract has been performed.
