Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Burke-Meyer Realty Corp., Appellant, v. James J. Sexton and Others, as Commissioners of the Department of Taxes and Assessments of the City of New York and Constituting the Board of Taxes and Assessments in Said City, Respondents.

Opinion:
Order confirming assessment and dismissing writ of certiorari in a proceeding to review the reasonableness of an assessment made the 1st day of October, 1931, unanimously affirmed, with fifty dollars costs and disbursements. It was competent for respondents to prove that relator had made application for extension of mortgage. Such application implied that the property was worth fifty per cent more than the amount of such mortgage. In the light of this and the rest of respondents' proof, the admission of the alleged appraisal of the mortgage company was not substantial error. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Davis, Johnston and Taylor, JJ.
