§ 980. Commissioners to ascertain damages and benefit.-After hearing such testimony and considering such proofs as may be offered, the commissioners or a majority of them, all having considered the same, or having had an opportunity to be present, shall, without unnecessary delay, ascertain and estimate the compensation which ought justly to be made by the city of New York to respective owners, lessees, parties and persons respectively entitled unto or interested in the lands, tenements, hereditaments and premises so required for the improvement; and make a just and equitable estimate and assessment, also, of the value of the benefit and advantage of such improvement to the respective owners, lessees, parties and persons respectively entitled unto or interested in the lands, tenements, hereditaments and premises not required for the said improvement, and prepare an abstract of their estimate and assessment. They shall not in making their estimate and assessment of the value of the benefit and advantage of the said improvement, be confined to any definite limit, but shall and are hereby authorized to extend such estimate and assessment to any and all such lands, tenements and hereditaments and premises as they may deem to be benefited by the improvement, and which they may judge expedient to include in their report in the premises. The board of estimate and apportionment may in any case determine whether any, and, if any, what proportion of the cost and expense thereof shall be borne and paid by the city of New York, and the remainder of such cost and expense shall be assessed upon the property deemed to be benefited

thereby. The determination or decision of said board as to the proportion of cost and expense to be borne and paid by the city of New York, and as to the proportion to be borne by the property benefited, after it shall have been made and announced, shall be final, and such determination or decision shall not be reopened or reconsidered by said board. In all proceedings instituted before December thirty-first, nineteen hundred and one, and now pending, in which no portion of the cost of such proceedings has been assumed by or placed upon the city of New York, the board of estimate and apportionment may by resolution direct that such proportion of the cost thereof as they in their discretion shall deem just and equitable, shall be borne by the city of New York. The said commissioners shall in no case assess any house, lot improved or unimproved lands, more than one-half the value of such house, lot, improved or unimproved land, as valued by them. It shall be lawful for the said commissioners, if they shall deem it just and equitable under the circumstances to do so, but not otherwise, to assess any part, not exceeding one-third part of the estimated value of any building or buildings taken in the proceeding, but not of any other improvement, upon the city of New York. If the said commissioners of estimate and assessment shall judge that any intended regulation will injure any building or buildings not required to be taken for the purpose of opening, extending, enlarging, straightening, altering, or improving such street or part of a street, they shall proceed to make, together with the other estimate and assessments required by law to be made by them, a just and equitable estimate and assessment of the loss and damage which will accrue, by and in consequence of such intended regulation, to the respective owners, lessees, parties and persons, respectively, entitled unto or interested in the said building or buildings so to be injured by the said intended regulation; and the sums or estimates of compensation and recompense for such loss and damage shall be included by the said commissioners in their report and included in the assessment for benefit.

§ 104. Annual assessment-roll.-The assessors of a village shall, on or before the first Tuesday of June, if a village of the first or second class, and on or before the first Tuesday of May, if a village of the third or fourth class, prepare an assessment-roll of the persons and property taxable within the village in the same manner and form as is required by law for the preparation of a town assessment-roll. They shall also enter on such roll the names of all persons liable to a poll tax. The assessors of a village of the third or fourth class, included wholly within a town, and in any village wholly within a town where no assessors are elected or appointed, in such village the trustees acting as assessors, may, and upon the adoption of a proposition therefor at an annual election, shall adopt the assessment-roll of the town of the last preceding year as the basis of their assessment, so far as practicable. If such town roll be adopted the assessors shall copy therefrom a description of all real property of the village and the value thereof as the same appears thereon; also all personal property and the value thereof assessed on such town roll to residents of the village, or to corporations taxable therefor therein, together with the names of the persons or corporations, respectively, to which such real or personal property is or should be assessed. Where the town assessment-roll is adopted and the valuation of any taxable property can not be ascertained therefrom, or where the value of such property shall have increased or diminished since the last assessment-roll of the town was completed, or an error, mistake or omission on the part of

the town assessors shall have been made in the description or valuation of taxable property, the assessors shall ascertain the true value of the property to be taxed from the best evidence available.

§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
