Matter of Village of Gowanda v. County of Erie

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Mar 2, 1967
225 N.E.2d 892 (N.Y. 1967)

Opinion

Argued February 22, 1967

Decided March 2, 1967

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department, CARMAN F. BALL, J.

Roger E. Pyle and Andrew J. Musacchio for appellant.

Norman A. Stiller, County Attorney ( Milton S. Weisberg of counsel), for respondents.


Order affirmed, without costs, in the following memorandum. The court is in agreement with the analysis by the Appellate Division insofar as it was necessary to the holding. It does not pass upon the future effect and validity of a local law, ordinance or resolution adopted by the Village of Gowanda, pursuant to subdivision (c) of section 1262 of the Tax Law, restricting the use of shared county tax revenues. Thus it may, perhaps, elect to receive such shared revenues for application solely to the reduction of village taxes uniformly levied on properties within the village, by crediting such shared county revenues toward taxes levied on properties within the village and also within the County of Erie, and apportioned on the basis of the assessed valuations for tax purposes.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges VAN VOORHIS, BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, KEATING and BREITEL.
