The opinion

Per Curiam.

This is an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court on

certiorari

that fixed the assessment on the respondent’s land and residence for the tax year of 1936 at $15,000. The record is replete with contradictory evidence and such facts as are undisputed are susceptible of conflicting inferences. The record as a whole presents a close factual situation.

It is a settled rule that findings of fact by the Supreme Court on conflicting evidence, or on uncontroverted evidence reasonably susceptible of conflicting inference, are conclusive on appeal where such findings of fact are based upon competent evidence.
