DELANY SUSTAINS CIRCUIT
Opinion on Pozcers of Local Boards
and Board of Estimate.

In a decision sent to Controller Grout yester-
DAY by Corporation Counsel Delany the former
is sustained at every point in the issue raised
by Borough President Lttleton of Brooklyn at
the meeting Of the Board OF Estimate and APP
portionment on January Z. The opinion answers
the following questions thus:
Can resolutions of the local boards adonted
prior to January J. 1904, be legally acted upon
by the present Board OF Estimate and Appor-
tionment? No
In case ii is necessary for the local boards
now existing to initiate all proceedings for local
improvements to be submitted to the present
Board of Estimate and Apportionment is II
necessary that new petitions be presented to
the local boards or said boards act on petit
tions presented prior to January l. 1904? The
safer course is to require the presentation of
new petitions to avoid any possible doubt as to
the legality of the proceedings
Can resolutions adopted by the local boards
prior to January l. 1904 and pending on the
calendar Of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment at the time of a change Of the ad-
ministration, be legally taken up and passed or
do they lapse? They lapse.
Do all matters pending before the local boards
prior TO January l, 1904. continue before the
local boards OF 1904 do they lapse? If pro
ceedngs begun in 1903 lapse with the admins
tration before the Board of Estimate and An
portionment and local boards to what extent
are they of no effect? AS the proceedings mem
toned have lapsed they are OF no effect
