VALIDATING COUNTY AGREEMENTS
                  Act of Mar. 21, 1919, P.L. 21, No. 12               Cl. 36
                                  AN ACT

     Validating certain agreements heretofore entered into by
        counties to pay a portion of the cost of improving and
        reconstructing certain borough roads and streets, and
        authorizing the payment by the county of such portion of the
        cost of such improvement and reconstruction.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That whenever any county of
     the Commonwealth, by its county commissioners, has heretofore
     agreed in writing with any borough to defray a portion of the
     cost of improving and reconstructing any road or street within
     the limits of such borough, lying on the route of a State
     highway, and where such road or street has been heretofore duly
     improved and reconstructed by such borough with the
     understanding that a portion of the cost of such improvement and
     reconstruction was to be paid by the county, and where the
     county has failed to pay its due proportion of the cost of such
     improvement and reconstruction for the reason that no legal
     authority for such payment existed by law, such agreement on the
     part of the county is hereby validated and made as binding upon
     the county as if full legal authority existed therefor at the
     time such agreement was entered into; and the county
     commissioners of the county are hereby authorized to draw their
     warrant in favor of, and to pay to, such borough, out of the
     funds of the county, the portion of the cost of improving and
     reconstructing such borough road or street agreed upon in the
     agreement by them entered into; and upon making such payment to
     such borough the county commissioners shall be relieved from all
     further liability.
