Argued May term, 1926, before PARKER, BLACK, and CAMPBELL, JJ.
Robert J. Bain, of Jersey City, for prosecutors.
Edward P. Stout, of Jersey City, Edward L. Katzenbach, Atty. Gen., and Thomas J. Brogan, of Jersey City, for defendants.
The writs of certiorari in these cases bring before the court the assessments of prosecutors' property for taxation for the years 1923 and 1924. There are six cases. The assessments were made by the local assessors of Jersey City. The property is owned by the prosecutors, but is not used for railroad purposes. The assessments were made as of October 1, 1923, and October 1, 1924. These cases are disposed of by what we said in the opinion in the case No. 245, Lehigh Valley R. R. Co. v. State Board of Taxes and Assessment (N. J. Sup.) 134 A. 724, for the year3 1921 and 1922.
