DECISION AGAINST AsTOR ESTATE.
Change of Grade Commission Holds That No
Damages Are Due.

decision Of interest to property owners was
handed down on Saturday by the commission to
decide damages incident to changes Of grade in
the 23d and oath wards in a test case, in which
William Waldorf Astor was plaintiff. In 1893
the Legislature passed an act providing for tho
payment Of damages through the depression Of
the tracks of the Harlem River Railway. Under
this act many claims were filed and awards
made In 1905 the Legislature passed an act
providing for an extension Of time in which own
ers might file claims.
Under this act 909 claims were filed, aggre-
eating nearly So 600, 000. OF these claims about
four hundred were cases where the lands and
buildings were clearly within the scope Of the
original act. The remaining five hundred, 1t is
held were filed the theory that by a technical
construction of the earlier act all changes of
grade in the 23d and oath wards were included,
whether brought about by railway depression or
not These cases aggregated over $4,O00.000.
The case decided on Saturday was selected by
the attorneys for William Waldorf Astor to set
tie the question.
The decision was against the plaintiff.
