Same Fees For Office Filers Across 1939 Elections
Harrisburg June 21 Candidates for local offices in 1939 must pay the same filing fees as in 1937 despite the legislature reducing rates two years ago. An act signed by Governor James leaves the lower fees inoperative until September 1, so petitions filed by July 24 must use the old amounts. The 1948 act does not change fees for State Superior Court vacancies or county offices, while judges and county officials except jury commissioners maintain the existing rates.
