Per Curiam.
The experts on both sides testified that land values on West 37th Street, between the same avenues, were about the same as on West 39th Street, where the present property was located. The opinion of the trial court would indicate that it mistakenly believed that the evidence referred to had related to values on West 40th Street. In any event, we find upon the evidence that the land values herein for assessment purposes should not be fixed in excess of $3,200 a front foot for the years in question.
The order appealed from should be modified by reducing assessments as follows:

Land

Total

1938- 39 $355,000.00 $45,000.00 $400,000.00
1939- 40 352,000.00 45,000.00 397,000.00
1940- 41 352,000.00 45,000.00 397,000.00
and, as so modified, affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements to the appellant.
