CITY Wins GRADE TAX SUIT,
LONG-DRAWN-OUT CONTEST IS DE-
CIDED by JUDGE MOORE.
Court Holds That Taxes Levied ms
Result of Jefferson street and
Other Similar Grades Are Valid
What Decision Means TO the CITY.

Inc city won substantial victory in the
equity department of the SUPERIOR court
yesterday when decision was rendered hy
Judge Moore in which the court holds that
the Tabernacle Baptist church of This city
must pay the street grade assessment
levied against the property and incidenta ly
rules that the recent law enacted by the
iegisfat ure providing for the collection of
such taxes is valid
The case in itself involved only about $40. =
ooo. but the decision establishes prece-
dent whereby the city Is assured of it's con-
tentfon that the tax which was levied
against large amount of other property
similarly situated is valid and therefore
subject to collection.
The case decided yesterday Is one OF the
most notable of this class of cases because
It has been 30 fotly contested for years
and was a subject of controversy in the
upon petition Of property owners
to grade Jefferson street from Third
avenue to Broadway. The late Jeanne
McHugh Brown, then wife Of Berah
Brown, who lived on Jefferson street near
Eighth street, succeeded In enjoining the
city from grading the thoroushfare be-
tween Sixth and Eighth streets. Not only
did she prevail in the lower courts, but
many leading citizens petitioned the coun-
ell not to attempt to- grade the street
because II would always be too steep for
any use and urged that the council mark
that portion OF Jefferson street as a point
from which most OF the city and the entire
harbor could be seen. The city council cid
not see Its way to expanding public mon ~
for that purpose. but II suspended work,
completing the street from Third to Sixth
and from Eighth avenue to Broadway.
The property owners succeeded, after a
long cont est in having the assessment de-
clared invalid new assessment was
made under the law passed by the state
legislature for the purpose Of remedying
defects in such cases and the present suit
was made test sut by which subsequent
contests will be governed.
