Quasi-Contractual Recovery When Municipal Contract Ultra Vies, Anon
Washington Law Review
While plaintiff's shopping center was under construction, defendant second-class municipality prepared for installation of a stop light to aid traffic going to and from the center. A contractor was hired and the design was approved, but funds were not budgeted for the project. With the shopping center nearing completion, it was agreed that plaintiff would pay the cost of installation and defendant city would reimburse him out of the following year's budget. The city, without calling for bids on the contract, hired a contractor and plaintiff paid the cost of the traffic signal and its installation. In plaintiff's suit on …

Legislative Control Of Municipal Corporations In Washington, Philip A. Trautman
Washington Law Review
The purpose of this article is to exaimne-the nature of the powers of municipal corporations in Washington in relation to the powers of the state legislature. A municipal corporation has been defined by the Washington supreme court as a body politic established by law as an agency of the state-partly to assist in the civil government of the country, but chiefly to regulate and administer the local and internal affairs of the incorporated city, town or district. Dependent upon the objective of the particular statute creating the body in question and the definition in such statute, the term "municipal corporation" …
Annexation By Municipal Corporations, John E. Iverson
Annexation By Municipal Corporations, John E. Iverson
Washington Law Review
Problems caused by the growth of urban fringe areas have increased, particularly since World War II. As the population of these areas increases, so does the need for public services and the attendant need for effective local government. County government in Washington has remained generally unchanged since its inception one hundred years ago. Conceived in contemplation of a rural, lightly populated area requiring only a minimum of services, county government was not designed to deal with urban problems. As a result, the task of providing governmental services has been assumed by existing municipalities, which, in order to gain the requisite …
Constitutional Law—Equal Protection And Seattle's Juke Box Ordinance, Dick Steincipher
Constitutional Law—Equal Protection And Seattle's Juke Box Ordinance, Dick Steincipher
Washington Law Review
In 1958 the Seattle City Council promulgated Ordinance No. 83784, which regulated the ownership and operation of juke boxes within the city. By the terms of this ordinance, one could own a juke box only upon the acquisition of a "juke box operator's license." Yet the ordinance authorized fewer consents than were already outstanding, and its prospective effect was such as to exclude all but existing licensees from the juke box field. Thus, when L. D. Ragan applied for an "operator's license" his application was denied. Ragan sought a judgment declaring this ordinance unconstitutional, and from an adverse ruling by …
Toward Effective Municipal Zoning, Arval Morris
Toward Effective Municipal Zoning, Arval Morris
Washington Law Review
Zoning is a legal device which complements comprehensive planning by effectuating the plan, and is the offspring of urgent urban necessity. In its ordinance form, it constitutes an exercise of the police power and consists primarily of classification. It envisions a division of land into districts, subjecting the land in each district to different regulations concerning its use. Considerations of district boundaries and use regulations are legislative in character, lying within the wisdom of a city council. Zoning generally must reflect an appreciation of the character of the land and its structures, its uniqueness for particular uses, plus regard for …

Home Rule In Washington—At The Whim Of The Legislature, Robert F. Brachtenbach
Washington Law Review
One of the most elementary rules of municipal corporations is that the power and control of the legislature over the local unit is complete and supreme, except as restricted by the federal or state constitution. Washington has embraced this concept as fully as any other jurisdiction.

Municipal Corporations—Competition Between Public Utilities, Eldon C. Parr
Washington Law Review
A Public Utility District (P.U.D.), organized in 1937 and including the Town of Newport in its territory, in June 1949 purchased the properties of a public service corporation which supplied the Town of Newport and the surrounding area with electric power. The P.U.D. thereafter performed this service. In July 1949, the Newport City Council proposed that the city acquire its own power system. An election was conducted which favored the proposal. Action by the P.U.D. to enjoin issuance of revenue bonds by the Town of Newport to finance the proposed acquisition. Judgment for the Town of Newport. On appeal, that …

Address By Arthur B. Langlie, Governor Of The State Of Washington, Arthur B. Langlie
Washington Law Review
Today I hope to take a little of your time, rather than try to extend some complimentary greeting of some kind or another, I would like to take this opportunity to talk a little bit about our government, our state government, some of its problems, primarily its tax problems, because some of you may have noted already that while the law has not become effective as yet, that there is going to be a slight tap on your personal income in the way of an increase in the business and occupational tax, and I want to talk to you about …
Suggested Changes In State Of Washington Laws Regulating Municipal Accounting, Arthur N. Lorig
Suggested Changes In State Of Washington Laws Regulating Municipal Accounting, Arthur N. Lorig
Washington Law Review
In connection with a recent interest in improving the accounting for municipalities of the state of Washington, chiefly sponsored by the Association of Washington Cities, there appears to be a growing conviction that some of the state laws regulating such accounting need revision. The interest is directed principally toward the laws dealing with municipal budgeting and it is felt by some that a complete revision of the budget laws is warranted. On the supposition that, until a thorough revision is made possible, some improvements of a lesser scope might be made, this article suggests desirable changes in the laws. The …

Estoppel Against State, County, And City, Richard A. Clark
Washington Law Review
Because of the recent expansion of the activities engaged in by both state and municipal governments,.the problem of legal hazards to which they are subject becomes increasingly important. One such hazard is estoppel. In general estoppel is the principle that one who wrongfully or negligently induces another to adversely change his position will be precluded from pleading the falsity of his acts or representations to his own advantage.
Suggested Changes In State Of Washington Laws Regulating County Accounting, Arthur N. Lorig, James S. Schindler
Suggested Changes In State Of Washington Laws Regulating County Accounting, Arthur N. Lorig, James S. Schindler
Washington Law Review
At the 1943 regular session of the legislature of the State of Washington, Senate Bill No. 47 was passed creating a County Codification Committee charged with the duty of preparing a compilation of all of the constitutional and statutory provisions with respect to counties and county officers. The Committee is also required to prepare recommendations for revisions, amendments and additions which it feels should be made to the existing statutory provisions, the recommendations to be embodied in a proposed county code to be submitted to the 1945 legislature. It seems appropriate, therefore, to call attention at this time to some …
Necessity For Compensation For Violation Of A Restrictive Covenant In An Eminent Domain Proceeding, Wayne C. Booth
Necessity For Compensation For Violation Of A Restrictive Covenant In An Eminent Domain Proceeding, Wayne C. Booth
Washington Law Review
In eminent domain proceedings where the state or a repository of state power seeks to use land within a restricted residence area for a purpose not consistent with the restrictive covenants, recovery of compensation by adjacent owners in the subdivision for this violation seems dependent upon whether the interest created by the covenants in the adjacent owners is a "property right". If it is a property right it can not under most state and the federal constitutions be taken by eminent domain unless compensation is made.' On the other hand, if the interest be not "property" no compensation need be …
Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender
Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender
Washington Law Review
A municipal corporation is not an insurer of its streets; and is not obliged to so construct and maintain them as to secure absolute nnmunity from any danger in using them. Generally stated, its duty is to exercise ordinary care to keep them in a reasonably safe condition for public travel; this duty being in some states imposed by statute, and in others, arising by mere implication. The Washington rule is well illustrated by the case of Sutton v. Snohomish, in which the court said: "Where a city has exclusive control and management of its streets with power to raise …
