471 N.E.2d 53; 1984 Mass. LEXIS 1791

Minchin v. Commissioner of Revenue

Opinion of the Court

In any event, the decision of the board is final as to findings of fact (G. L. c. 58A, § 13), and the propriety of those findings cannot be challenged successfully in the absence of a transcript of the board’s proceedings (G. L. c. 58A, § 10). See Montaup Elec. Co. v. Assessors of Whitman, 390 Mass. 847, 848-849 (1984). On the facts found by the board, the plaintiff could not prevail on any of his constitutional arguments. See Southern Pac. Co. v. Gallagher, 306 U.S. 167,177 (1939); Henneford v. Silas Mason Co., 300 U.S. 577,583-584(1937); Minnesota v. Blasius, 290 U.S. 1, 9-10 (1933); Randall v. Norberg, 121 R.I. 714, 720 (1979).

Decision of the Appellate Tax Board affirmed.
