                 Act of Jul. 24, 1941, P.L. 498, No. 193              Cl. 53
                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing municipalities to file liens against real estate
        beyond the municipal limits for certain municipal rates,
        validating liens heretofore filed, and providing for the
        procedure thereon.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  Any municipality may proceed to recover water
     rents or rates, lighting rates, power rates and sewer rates due
     and unpaid for service rendered beyond the municipal limits by
     the filing of municipal claims therefor against the real estate
     served in the same manner and with the same effect as such rents
     or rates are now recoverable within the municipal limits.
        Section 2.  The procedure on liens filed under the provisions
     of this act shall be the same as though the real estate were
     within the municipal limits.
        Section 3.  All claims heretofore filed for water rents or
     rates, lighting rates, power rates and sewer rates for service
     rendered beyond the municipal limits are hereby validated, and
     procedure thereon shall be the same as though the real estate
     were within the municipal boundaries.
        Section 4.  This act shall become effective immediately upon
     final enactment.
