It is hereby determined that the creation of the authority and the carrying out of its corporate  purposes  is  in all respects for the benefit of the people of the city and its environs, and  is  a  public  purpose,  and  the  authority  shall  be regarded as performing a  governmental  function  in  the  exercise  of  the  powers conferred upon it by this title and shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments  upon  any  of  the  property  acquired  by  it or under its jurisdiction or control or supervision or upon its activities. Provided, however, if the authority is located within  a  transportation  district referenced  in  paragraph  (a) of subdivision two of section two hundred fifty-three of the tax law, it shall not be exempt from  the  additional tax  on each mortgage of real property situated within the state imposed by such paragraph.   2.
