New York Court of Appeals
Cecilia B. O’Reilley, Appellant v. the City of Kingston, Respondent
June 4, 1889114 N.Y. 439
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court's order, holding that the assessment on the plaintiff's property was void because the grade of Union Avenue was changed without the required petition of adjoining owners, that the plaintiff failed to show a material increase in cost from the grading, that the assessors' method of apportioning the tax by frontage was not necessarily erroneous, and that the street railroad company was not liable for the assessment.
