Co., claiming excessive assessment
on real estate here, was upheld
when the plaintiff appealed to the
supreme court of errors. The de-
cision Of the supreme court, which
finds no error in Judge Jennings
ruling, was made known today.
Judge John w. Banks wrote the de-
cision, which was sanctioned blythe
other justices. ..tS
A well known local apartment
building, the Old Marble Block at
276-288 North Main street is in
volved. The Plaintiff claimed the
city's assessment on the property
was~excessive and made application
for relief from the superior court OF

Included In Tax
The assessment, as levied by the
city included: Land, $4,000; apart
ment building, $45, 900: garage, $500.
a total Of SOL 400. The court found
the assessment not to be excessive

ed In the apartment house which Is
Of brick and marble construction.
On the ground floor are four stores,
the three uppers consist of II two
room apartments and 16 one-room

Evidence Of City
Evidence presented by the defense
In the form Of a mortgage given
the plaintiff in 1925 was for $85, 900,
proved the plaintiff had at that time
valued the property far In excess
Of the assessment figure.
Although 1t was only a certified

mortgage, the trial court accepted
1t over the objection Of the plaintiff.
Technical Error
Judge Jennings admits this was
technical error, but denies 1t as
grounds of a new trial, for 1t could
not have harmed the case Of the
plaintiff.
