New York Bay Railroad v. Mayor of Newark
New York Bay Railroad v. Mayor of Newark
Opinion of the Court
This case is similar in principle to United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Co. v. Newark, ante p. 830, and submitted with it. -The controversy in the Supreme Court, as will appear by the opinion of that court, reported in 46 Vroom 389, sub nom. In re New York Bay Railroad Co., was whether the property in question was taxable as “main stem” or “second class” property. The Supreme Court found that part was main stem and part second class, and applying to the latter the supplement of 1906 (Pamph. L., p. 571) sustained a tax imposed on it by the city of Newark for 1906, and set aside a corresponding tax levied by the state board of assessors, reserving for further proof the question whether a small part was main stem or not. The adjudication by this
For affirmance—None.
For reversal—The Ci-iiee Justice, Savayze, Eeed, Parker, Bergen, Voorhees, Minturn, Bogert, Vredenburgi-i, Vroom, Gray, Dill, J.J. 12.
