ASSESSMENT REVISED.
Judge Gunster Made Revisions in
Two Cases-Reasons That He
Gave-Other Cases That
Are Now Pending.

There is trouble in store for the city
assessors. In two of the recent APP
peals from the valuation fixed by the
1898 assessment, decisions were made
by Judge Gunster yesterday and in
both instances the appellants were the
winners. This will doubtless tend to
bring on many more appeals and the
consequences will be that the assess
ors will be kept busy revising their
assessments.
The cases decided yesterday were
those of John A. and Joseph A. Mears
and w. T.. Thayer. The Nears proper
ty is located at Ill and 113 South Main
avenue. The property at III South
Main avenue was assessed for $40O
more than last year Judge Gunster
knocks off this s4OO and $500 along with
il, making the 1895 assessment lower
by $500 than the 1897 assessment. The
other property had been increased $3.50.
Court directed that 1t should remain
at the valuation fixed in 1897. The
Judge found as the appellants alleged,
that no improvements had been made
during the year and that the Valua-
tions were higher proportionately than
those of other properties in the same
neighborhood.
The Thayer property at the corner
of South Main avenue and oxford
street was assessed for $3.50, in 1897,
and S2,2G0, in 1898, Judge Gunster di-
rects that the valuation remain at the
1897 figure. lie SAID, in the opinion ac-
companying the decision: 1T appears
that the assessment of other property
in the neighborhood was made on a
basis of about one-third of the mar
ket value. According to this rule, the
assessment for 1857 was about right"
Attorneys E. w. Thayer and James
T.. Watkins were counsel In the first
case and Mr.. Thayer alone, in the Sec
ond.
The appeals of the Smith estate Rev.
Luther Peck and the Fairview Land
company are the ones still pending.

NATURE OF FAULTS.

NATURE OF FAULTS.
In the disposition of the case much
depends on the nature and extent of a
fault" which exists in the upper Dun
more vein, and by which the company
excuses it's failure to mine the mini
mum demanded by the lease with the
Won Storchs.
Monday afternoon the company of
ferred testimony to show that a bore
hole had been sunk from the Clark
vein through the upper Dunmore, at
a point several hundred feet beyond
the fault" and that no coal whatever
was found, leaving the inference that
the vein halted at the fault. The de-
PENDANTS. the lessons, contended that
the bore hole had not gone down as
far as the upper Dunmore, the core
showing, it is alleged, that the drill
had not even penetrated the sand
stone that overlies the vein in ques-
ton.
Judge Archibald decided to have the
boring continued for a reasonable dis
tance to test the contention of the
lessons, and adjourned the case until
yesterday morning in order to give the
defendants an opportunity of disproV-
ing their opponents claim. When the
case was re-opened yesterday il was
reported by the defendants that they
had been unable to continue the bor-
ing. The Delaware and Hudson COM
pany, which owns the upper veins, re-
fused to grant permission to the borers
to enter the Clark workings, claiming
that they were filled with gas and there
was danger of setting the mine afre

son company, and up to yesterday

abouts by the defendants.
EACH ACCUSES OTHER.
Each side was accusing the other, in
directly, of spiriting the drill away
to prevent the disclosures il was to
make, and for a time there were some
lively exchanges between the lawyers.
Judge Archibald finally brought about
peace by saying that as they were
more suspicious Of each other than he
was of both, there was no occasion for
further discussion or, i'm other words,
1t was unavailing for them to try to
make capital out of something that
was not capable of rendering any re-
turns, it being probable that it was
the Delaware and Hudson officials who
had removed the machinery.
The case was adjourned until such
time as the boring Is finished, and the
| judge can afford time to hear the re-
suits. II necessary court will interfere
to secure an entrance for the drillers
to the Clark vein, the engineers en-
gagged in the case, having stated that

was called for trial yesterday. b. =.
Hufllng against Melvina stree, was
one of them. The plaintiff was at one
time a tenant of the defendant in a
Green Ridge property. The tenant
built barn on the premises and when
he moved out sought to recover for
the value of the barn, alleging that the
landlord had agreed to buy the barn
whenever the tenant moved out. The
landlord denies this and hence the suit.
A feature of the case is that there Is
no evidence of the agreement from
either of the principals, the plaintiff
having died and the defendant on that
account being estopped from testify
ing, under the rule that the death of
one of the parties to contract seals
the lips of the other. Judge Gunster
gave the case to the jury at adjourn
ing time.
Vosburg e. Dawson represented the
plaintiff and L. c. Newcomb the de-
fendant.

Robert T.. Hurley, a suit to recover

Mr.. Jadwin sold three lots for Mr..
Hurley in North Park for $4,SO0. Mr.
Hurley claimed that the lots were sold
for less than he agreed to dispose of
them for, and declined to pay Mr.
Jadwin's claim for per cent. COM
mission. Mr.. Jadwin sued and to pre-
vent recovery Mr.. Hurley attacks
Mr.. Jadwn's brokers' license, alleg-
ing that the county treasurer and not
the city treasurer should have issued
the license.
