City Tax Decision On Water Company Funds
In Portsmouth the City Circuit Court judge ruled the city lacked the right to withhold 1887 taxes from the Portsmouth and Suffolk Water Company since it did not own the property at assessment time. This means the city loses several hundred dollars in taxes for that year on the water company’s system and plant.
