Court Will Review State Buildings On Federal Cash
Harrisburg Jan 21 The New Deal administration won the right to argue the constitutionality of the State Authority Act enabling new state buildings and repairs with federal funds. The Supreme Court agreed to reopen the case January 29 as Governor Earle plans to revive the authority. If reversed, federal funds would cover 45 percent of 60 million dollars with the state borrowing the rest. Margiotti argues the plan would ease overcrowding in welfare and mental institutions and spur employment, while noting the high court turnover could change its stance.
