Opinion by
Judge MacPhaiu,
On August 10, 1976, the City of Philadelphia (City) filed a Complaint in Assumpsit in the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County against Robert Hennessey seeking judgment in the sum of $2,214.88, plus interest and penalties, on account of wage taxes allegedly owed by Hennessey to the City for the years 1971-1974 inclusive. After Hennessey filed his answer to the complaint, the City filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which was denied. The City appeals from that order. We reverse.
Judgment on the pleadings should be granted only when a case is free from doubt…
