Head Matter:
In re LINCOLN AVE. IN CITY OF NEW YORK.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
April 16, 1915.)
Appeal from Special Term, Kings County. In the matter of the application of the City of New York relative to acquiring title for opening a street. From an order setting aside an award to property owners by commissioners of estimate and assessment, the City appeals. Order reversed, and motion to confirm the report of the commissioners granted. Melville J. BYance, of Brooklyn (Iíoward L. Campion, of New York City, on the brief), for appellant. Ferdinand Pécora, of New York City, for respondents.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion to confirm the report of the commissioners of estimate and assessment granted. We think that the evidence clearly establishes the adoption of the correct theory by the commissioners as to consequential damages, and, if the amount awarded by them is open to criticism at all, it is that it is liberal rather than otherwise.
