Opinion of the Court

Leventritt, J.

The petition, seeks a revision solely on the ground of inequality. On the application to the tax commissioners only one instance of alleged inequality was set forth; the petition does not set forth any additional ones. This does not meet the requirements of the law. Tax Law, § 253; Rumsey Tax. 316; People ex rel. Warren v. Carter, 109 N. Y. 576; People ex rel. Boehm v. Wells, N. Y. L. J., Dec. 17, 1903.
