Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. v. Stratford

The defendant placed the property of the plaintiff in its 1945 grand list at $1,242,102. On appeal to the board of tax review, this figure was confirmed. The property was taxable at its ""fair market value"" in the defendant town under General Statutes, 1759 (formerly Cum. Sup. 1935, 366c). The plaintiff appealed to the Court of Common Pleas, which reduced the assessment to $720,000. The defendant appealed from this judgment. It attacked the finding, the conclusions and several of the rulings made. The defendant states in its brief that sixty-one paragraphs of the draft finding ""were, it is believed, admitted and undisputed facts and should have been found.""
