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
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 …
