VALIDATING EXPENDITURES BY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
                  Act of May 21, 1943, P.L. 271, No. 124              Cl. 16
                                  AN ACT

     Validating certain expenditures heretofore made by county
        commissioners in order to furnish filing cabinets or other
        office equipment to rationing boards.

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

        Section 1.  Whenever any board of county commissioners has
     heretofore expended county funds to purchase and furnish filing
     cases or other office equipment to any rationing board or
     similar agency operating in such county, and if such purchase
     does not evidence any fraud or conspiracy to violate the
     provisions of any laws of the Commonwealth regulating the
     affairs of counties, then such purchase or expenditure of funds
     is hereby authorized, ratified, confirmed and validated,
     notwithstanding the fact that such expenditure of funds or
     purchase exceeded the authority of said board of county
     commissioners.
        No board of county commissioners or any member thereof shall
     be subject to surcharge for any expenditure or purchase as
     aforesaid.
        Section 2.  The provisions of this act shall become effective
     immediately upon final enactment.
