People ex rel. Bear Mountain Hudson River Bridge Co. v. Dimond

Judgment, or final order, unanimously affirmed, with costs, upon opinion of Mr. Justice Tompkins at Special Term. [Reported in 126 Misc. 239.] We are inclined to the view that what the bridge company was using, in its maintenance and operation, constituted a special franchise which was taxable only as such, within the authority of People ex rel. R., S. & E. R. R. Co. v. Moroney (224 N. Y. 114). Present — Young, Rich, Kapper, Lazansky and Hagarty, JJ.
