City Attorney and Controller clash over city tax exemptions
City Attorney Moreland and Controller Morrow clash over exemptions for public corporations. The Allegheny City Light Company was listed as exempt, prompting Morrow to challenge the move while arguing state and court precedents allow deductions. Frazer urges exemptions, citing rulings that public utility works are not taxed locally. Moreland later confirms no legal authority to tax such corporations without explicit law, signaling no local taxes from these firms this year.
