New York Court of Appeals October 31, 1978 (Town of Massena v. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Cooke, J.

This case is another episode in the controversy over the supply of public utility services as between a municipal corporation and a privately owned public utility. We voice no policy preference but determine the rights of these parties under article 14-A of the General Municipal Law.

The scenario is laid in the northern reaches of our State.
