EMERSON APPEAL
 DENIED BY COURT Judge NickerSon Rules for Town
 in Assessment Case BOARD OF RELIEF UPHELD
Afan Injured When Cur Crashes Telephone Polo on Beech Swnmp Rood-Two Arrested for Reckless Driving and Drunkenness.

Decision governing the recent case of the estate of Thomas Elmer son versus the Town of Berlin. an appeal for assessment reduction, was handed down by Judge Kicker son of the superior court in Hart ford yesterday afternoon to Judge Bernard F. Gaffney who. through his son, Attorney Donald Gaffney represented the town at the hear ing. Judge Nickerson ruled that the assessment levied by the board of relief on the Emerson property was fair one and upheld the town.
 The decision followed a recess of two weeks after the plaintiff had closed his case with the claim that the assessment placed On the prop erty was exorbitant and unfair. Judge Nickerson's memorandum follows:
 "The applicant claims to be az grieved by the action of the board of relief of the town of Berlin in placing the property of the estate of Thomas Emerson in the list for taxation at $25.Oo0. It is alleged and claimed by the applicant that the fair market value of all the land is no more than $1o,00o.
 Tt is admitted by the pleadings that the estate, of which the ap- pltcant is administrator. was on October 1st, 1925. the owner of said property in said town, consisting of land and buildings; that the board of assessors increased the valuation of the land from s4;0S5 to s43,500 and made increases of other items in the assessment list; that the ap- plicant duly appealed from the &C., ton of the board of assessors to the board of relief who reduced the as- sessment of the land from $43,500 to $25,o00. The remaining allega- tions are denied.
 ''The first question presented Is whether the applicant has been az grieved by such action of the board of relief as must result In his pay ment of an unjust and therefore practically illegal tax. Wilcox '. Madison, 103 Conn. 15o.
 Whether the applicant has been aggrieved is a judicial question and must be determined in the affirma- tive before the power to grant re- lief is to be exercised by the court.
 "The list presented by the appli- cant did not comply with the re- quirements of the statute. How ever, the assessors accepted it and the conclusions reached regarding the value of the property make it unnecessary to further consider it.
 Much of the testimony regard ing the value of the land was based upon a front foot valuation for building lot purposes. Too much stress was laid upon its value for such purposes.
 "The statute provides that lands and separate lots, except house lots, shall be set in the list at their aver age present and actual valuation by the acre. Gen. Stat. sec. 11S3.
 'In this case the land exists as a whole and should be taxed as such. In determining its taxable value per acre It's value may be estimated in view of It's suitability for use As house lots and its value for such use may be thus legally established. Wilcox v. Madison, 103 Conn. 165.
