Note: New York - A City In Crisis: Fiscal Emergency Legislation And The Constitutional Attacks, Gayle Gutekunst-Roth
Note: New York - A City In Crisis: Fiscal Emergency Legislation And The Constitutional Attacks, Gayle Gutekunst-Roth
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Generous spending and, some would add, fiscal mismanagement have been a New York City tradition, putting tremendous pressures on both the City and State budgets. To forestall the deterioration of the City's financial condition and the subsequent collapse of the City itself, the New York State Legislature enacted a series of laws, many of which were feverishly incorporated into the body of State law in extraordinary session. With the creation of public authorities, the authorization of State funds to aid these authorities, and State hindrance of the payment of municipal debt service obligations, came inevitable claims in the courts that …
Municipal Industrial Development Bonds, Alfred E. Abbey
Municipal Industrial Development Bonds, Alfred E. Abbey
Vanderbilt Law Review
Several years ago a national business magazine carried an article styled "You Gotta Have A Golf Course."' The article outlined the efforts of a small town to attract new industry and the awkward realization by the city fathers that they were losing out to the competition because their community lacked such a recreational facility. After this finding, several public spirited citizens raised the necessary funds and constructed a nine-hole course. These efforts were soon rewarded when a large industrial concern located a new manufacturing plant in their city. Industrial development bonds are essentially intended to serve the same purpose as …
Some Problems In Special Assessment District Obligations, Irvin Long
Some Problems In Special Assessment District Obligations, Irvin Long
Michigan Law Review
The question of the jurisdiction of a board or officer authorized to construct a local improvement and levy special assessments therefor has always been troublesome, and is particularly so when bonds or other obligations are issued in anticipation of the collection of such assessments. A vast amount of litigation has occurred in Michigan in recent years over drain district assessments, and bonds which such districts have issued. While this is of primary interest to Michigan lawyers and investors in public securities, many of the questions involved seem to be of such a general nature, so far as special assessment procedure …
Municipal Corporations - Bonds Redeemable At Option Of Municipality- Notice To Bondholders Necessary To Stop Running Of Interest, Michigan Law Review
Municipal Corporations - Bonds Redeemable At Option Of Municipality- Notice To Bondholders Necessary To Stop Running Of Interest, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Defendant municipality issued bonds redeemable before maturity at defendant's option. There was no provision for registration, and neither the statute nor the bonds provided for notice of redemption. In May,1938, notice was published in newspapers of general circulation that the bonds were to be redeemed on June 1. Plaintiff, owner of the entire issue, did not know of the redemption until September 27. It sued for interest from June 1 to September 27. Held, notice by publication is sufficient to stop the running of interest, and plaintiff is therefore not entitled to recover. Philadelphia Savings Fund Society v. City …

Municipal Corporations - Constitutional Limitations On Amount Of Debts - Obligations Of Other Public Corporations As Debts Of City, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The city of Troy, New York, had obtained federal aid for a Public Works Administration project involving the erection of a new high school building, conditioned upon the city's supplying $786,000 as its share of the cost. The constitutional debt limitation did not permit the city to borrow this amount. The legislature came to the aid of the city and enacted a law providing that the bonds should be issued as "general obligations" of the city school district by the district's board of education. The act expressly stated that the bonds should not be considered as part of the debt …
Declaratory Judgments - Justiciable Controversy, Herman J. Bloom
Declaratory Judgments - Justiciable Controversy, Herman J. Bloom
Michigan Law Review
The governor of Wisconsin instituted a declaratory proceeding against the secretary of state. The governor wanted to determine his power to make ad interim appointments to allegedly vacant statutory offices and to positions incumbents were holding over. Prior to this action he had made no appointments to these offices, for the secretary of state had advised him that he would not honor the commissions, or audit and pay the expense account of such appointees. The governor claimed that the alleged conduct of the secretary of state prevented him from securing suitable persons to fill these offices. The court held that …
Publicly Owned Utilities And The Problem Of Municipal Debt Limits, Lawrence L. Durisch
Publicly Owned Utilities And The Problem Of Municipal Debt Limits, Lawrence L. Durisch
Michigan Law Review
The far-reaching contest being waged between the advocates of municipal ownership of public utilities and the private ownership group, between those who "want the government to get out of business" and those who desire to see an increase in its proprietary functions, has produced a number of sharp legal controversies. One of the most interesting of these, recently litigated in a number of state courts, is whether an obligation incurred for the purchase or repair of a municipally-owned utility is a "municipal debt" within the meaning of constitutional or statutory debt limits. Because of the wide-spread interest in, and the …
