CITIES, APPROPRIATION OF LAND FOR PUBLIC USE
                  Act of Mar. 11, 1903, P.L. 25, No. 30               Cl. 11
                                  AN ACT

     Providing the security to be given or tendered by the several
        cities of this Commonwealth, in the taking, appropriation, or
        injury of lands and property for any public use or purpose
        authorized by law.

        Compiler's Note:  Section 4701 of Act 317 of 1931 provided
            that Act 30 is repealed insofar as it relates to third
            class cities.
        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That in all cases where the
     several cities of this Commonwealth are or shall be required by
     law to give or tender security in the taking, appropriation, or
     injury of lands and property, where the same is being acquired
     for any authorized public use or purpose, the said security may
     be the bond of the proper city, and be given and tendered
     without surety or sureties: Provided, however, That if it shall
     appear to the proper court or a law judge thereof, when the said
     bond is presented for approval, that the power of taxation in
     the respective city is not sufficient security, the said court
     or law judge may require the said city to give or tender bond
     with surety or sureties.
