THE TEN YEAR CONTRACTS
City Solicitor Thinks Recent Opinion
Does Not Affect Them.

City Solicitor Nosburg stated yester.
day that the recent decision of the
United States Supreme court, in which
IL was decided that the councils of
three Illinois cities had not the power
TO make contract extending beyond
the period of one fiscal Year. had little
or no bearing upon contracts entered
into by municipalities in this state for
u term of years.
There We're some who thought that
this decision would render il possible
to nullify the ten-year contracts en-
tered into with the Barber Asphalt and
Scranton Electric Light and Heat COM
panies, but Mr.. Vosburg doesn't think
50,
1t was the Supreme court of Illinois.
he says, which declared that under the
laws of that state the council of city
had no right to make "A contract for n
longer time than one fiscal year. The
established rule with the Supreme
court of the United States has always
been to uphold the Interpretation
placed upon a state law by the state
Supreme court, unless this interprcta-
ton is a iagrantly wrong one.
Mr. Vosburg says that i'm this state
the Supreme court has repeatedly rec
osnized the validity or contracts en-
tered into by municipalities for a term
Of years, and for this reason believes
that the opinion recently handed down
cannot be applied to contracts made IN
Pennsylvania.
