Head Matter:
BRIDGEMAN v. CITY OF NEW YORK.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
December, 1903.)
Action by Alfred Bridgeman,, in behalf of himself and others, against the city of New York. The following is the opinion of Hamilton Odell, referee; “In the case of Astoria Heights L. Co. v. City of New York, 89 App. Div. 512, 86 N. Y. Supp. 651. T have attempted to state reasons why the plaintiff was not entitled to have the assessments declared illegal and void and the defendant restrained from collecting them. The reasons apply to this case, in so far as these plaintiffs seek the same relief. In so far as they seek to recover the sums paid by them for assessments and interest, the action must fail, as the claim is barred by the statute of limitations. Diefenthaler v. Mayor, 111 N. Y. 331, 19 N. E. 48; Jex v. Mayor, 111 N. Y. 339, 19 N. E. 52; Trimmer v. City of Rochester, 134 N. Y. 76, 31 N. E. 255. The complaint is dismissed.”

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Judgment affirmed, with costs, upon the opinion of Hamilton Odell, referee.
