Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided May 15, 1923
206 A.D. 709
New Year Central & Hudson River Railroad v. City of Yonkers

Opinion of the Court

Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs, on authority of New York, N. H. & H. R. R. Co. v. Village of Port Chester (149 App. Div. 893; affd., 210 N. Y. 600). We think upon the evidence in this case the assessment, although prima facie regular, was void for want of Jurisdiction; the plaintiff upon learning of the action taken had the right to apply to the common council to set it aside, and upon refusal to maintain this action in equity. Present— Kelly, P. J., Manning, Kelby, Young and Kapper, JJ.
