Allegheny City Mandamus Case Heard by Supreme Court
Arguments in the Allegheny mandamus case were heard yesterday. D. T. Watson, for Marc Wyman, contended that population-based city classification did not affect Allegheny as a municipal body and that second-class status carried its property and ordinances with it. George Elphinston argued unrepealed pre-1874 local laws stay in force and that population growth cannot alter class without 1889 act construed. He attacked the 1859 act as unconstitutional for multiple subjects of legislation.
