City Lags Far In Tax Trials Continued from Page 1 ping to 302 in 1937 but rising to 2,379 last year. The survey also disclosed that the courts were playing a virtually insignificant role in clearing the load writs which come in each year from realty owners seeking redress. Only sir. cases are on the calendar in Brooklyn for litigation at present while "50 or 60," according to an official of the Corporation Counsel's tax division, are being heard throughout the city. TRIALS 'UNSATISFACTORY' From 1929 through 1933 an average of but seven certiorari trials a year was held.

From 1934 through 1936 an average of 37 per year was completed, while 159 proceedings involving 79 parcels of property were disposed of by trial in 1937. The largest number of trials on certiorari writs in the history of the Law Department was recorded last year, when Corporation Counsel William C. Chanler, in his annual report, announced the disposition of 211 proceedings involving 77 pieces of real estate. In his report for 1937, Paul Windels, then Corporation Counsel, attributed the sparsity of trials in these cases to the system of referring them, in Manhattan, to unofficial referees when the claimed reduction is in excess of $50,000. These trials, Mr.

Windels declared, in which more than 95 percent of all proceedings are considered, have been "unsatisfactory to the taxpayers, the courts and the city." WOULD CORRECT METHOD "To more effectively handle pending certiorari proceedings in the interests both of the city the taxpayers," Mr. Windels said, "the less have corrected. At the present method, of trials will doubtpresent time most of the certiorari trials are had before unofficial referees. The New York County rule is that in cases where the claimed reduction is in excess of $50,000 the court will send the proceedings to an unofficial referee, and where the claimed reduction is less than $50,000 the proceeding is sent to an official referee. "In Kings County the proceedings are sent to official referees.

In other counties the proceedings are tried by judges. As a practical matter more than 95 percent of the proceedings are tried by unofficial referees at the present time. "The unofficial referee trials have been unsatisfactory to the taxpayers, 9-4200 FUNERAL Bros. DIRECTORS 1015 HALSEY ST B'KLYN. CHAPELS AVAILABLE IN ALL COMMUNITIES.

She was 68 last Friday. Born in Manhattan on Nov. 10 1871, she was the daughter of Andrew L. and Margaret Donegan and as a young woman was a strong believer in women's rights and later became very active in the movement which ultimately gave women the right to vote. She was the wife of Peter Sexton, a Manhattan plumbing "contractor, who, with one brother, survives her.

She was formerly active in the Women's City Club and was a member of the board of governors of Central Islip State Hospital, having been appointed first by the then Governor Roosevelt and later by Governor Lehman. The Sexton's came to Fort Salonga in 1904 and built their estate home, known as Land's End, overlooking Long Island Sound.

A singer and concert pianist who started her career in Pittsburgh, in her native Allegheny County, she turned to pictures in their infancy and helped elevate Anita Stewart, Mildred Harris, Billie Dove, and Claire Windsor to stardom. with a stomach ailment for years, she had retired from film work. Law's Delay Hits Owners Of Property The following table illustrates how the number of certiorari proceedings instituted by property owners seeking reductions in assessments is each year outdistancing the number of cases disposed of by the city's law departments and the courts through litigation or settlement: Proceedings Proceedings Year instituted disposed of 1929 531 142 1930 873 257 1931 2,199 460 1932 6.159 717 1933 10,599 931 1934 8,173 1.523 1935 7,299 2,046 1936 6.157 3,520 1937 4.911 4,609 1938 6.609 4.230 Total 53,510 18,435 Aver, per year 5,351 Brenda Frazier's Kin Hurt Fighting Cabman James Watriss, 18-year-old halfbrother of Brenda Frazier, socialite, was reported in good condition today in Lenox Hill Hospital, Manhattan. Watriss was taken to the hospital last night by his uncle, Cortlandt D. Barnes, after the young man had returned to his apartment at 134 E.

62d Manhattan, suffering from injuries received during an encounter with a taxicab driver. According to police of the E. 67th St. station, young Watriss got into an argument with the driver, whose name was undisclosed, over a 60-cent fare. A Holmes Protective Association operative, Michael Sullivan, 370 7th carried Watriss to the apartment which he occupies with his uncle.

the courts and the city, Of the 539 proceedings which have been sent out to more than 50. referees since Feb. 1937, only 13 trials have been had. these 13 trials 28 writs were 'In in issue." URGED CENTRALIZATION The primary need for swift adjudication, Mr. Windels pointed out, is "a centralization, not a spreading, of the control over the proceedings." He declared that a single part continuously of a in court charge or a of single the judge cal- endar "could easily try every proceeding in which the petitioner honestly wants a trial.

"We are convinced," he said, "the best practical procedure for handling the trial of certiorari proceedings would be to re-establish the Special Term Part for the trial of these cases as was the case some 25 years ago." In the 1938 report Corporation Counsel Chanler urged setting up an additional Tri-Department Settlement Board to supplement the one now engaged in adjusting writs out of court. "While this year the number of dispositions almost equals the number of new proceedings brought," he asserted, "it will be necessary greatly to increase the productivity of the department in this respect if the problem is to be solved."

The very, cross-examination dragged on, with Sabbatino failing to change the testimony of the witness. Judge Wallace repetitions, defense attorney for his inquiries and called a five recess. Murray minute recalled to the stand for further cross-examination by Sabbatino. "Is it possible that $500 might have been deposited to your account? Sabbatino asked politely.

"Not that I know Mr. Sabbatino," Murray answered." Judge Wallace impatiently asked Sabbatino to proceed with other phases, and Sabbatino ended his examination. McCarthy then called Edward U. Green, attorney of Flushing, who testified he adjourned the Riverhead case Murray's request. Green said he never received any fee from Kuhn.

Green declared he expected Murray to pay him, but since Murray didn't receive any fee Green did not press Murray for the money, TELLS OF TREATING WOMAN Irving Greenberg, attorney in Murray's office, of 85-52 151st Jamaica, testified he sent a letter, at Murray's request, on July 2, 1938, asking Kuhn to pay $250 for Murray's expenses during the time Murray busied himself with the Riverhead case.
