The opinion
*338 The opinion of the court was delivered by
Gummere, Chief Justice.
This is a certiorari case brought to review an alleged excessive valuation of property for taxation, made in the year 1906, upon a manufacturing plant belonging to the Eoyal Manufacturing Company, and located in the city of Eahway. After the original valuation by the local assessor the property was revalued by the county board of taxation. That board raised the valuation of the buildings which constitute the plant from $12,000 to $16,800, leaving the valuation of the land (which was separately valued by the local assessor) undisturbed. The plaintiff in error then appealed from the county board’s valuation to the state board of equalization of taxes, and that board, after hearing testimony, affirmed the value fixed upon the property by the county board. The certiorari was then sued out by the plaintiff in error for the purpose of reviewing the action of the state board. Before the Supreme Court it made two claims— first, that the value placed upon its property was relatively higher than that placed upon other property in Eahway, and second, that the value placed upon its property was in excess of its true value, and contended that for each of these reasons it was entitled to a material reduction in its assessment. The Supreme Court affirmed the action of the state board.
We think it manifest that the Supreme Court rightly held that the first claim made by the prosecutor was without merit.
\The action of the taxing -authorities in assessing other property in the same taxing district at less than its true value afforded no reason for reducing the assessment upon the prosecutor’s property to less than its true value, for the constitution requires that property shall be assessed for taxation according to its true value, and a reduction below true value would be a violation of that constitutional provision. As to the second ground of complaint before the Supreme Court that court, after considering the testimony submitted, reached the conclusion that the property of the prosecutor was not assessed at more than its true value. This is a finding of fact which is not reviewable here, unless there is no evidence whatever to sustain it. Tuckerton Railroad Co. v. State Board of *339 Assessors, 48 Vroom 614 , and cases cited. That there was considerable evidence for this purpose is disclosed by an examination of the depositions returned with the writ.
The judgment under review will be affirmed.
