VALIDATING CERTAIN MUNICIPAL CONTRACTS
                 Act of Aug. 26, 1953, P.L. 1454, No. 424             Cl. 64
                                  AN ACT

     Validating certain contracts entered into by municipality
        authorities for the construction of school projects without
        receiving separate bids and awarding separate contracts for
        heating and ventilating work.

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

        Section 1.  Whenever any municipality authority shall have
     heretofore entered into any contract with the lowest responsible
     bidder for the construction of any school project or projects
     authorized by law, and the contract was awarded without having
     separate specifications and without receiving separate bids and
     awarding separate contracts for the heating and ventilating work
     as required by law, and the contract has been performed and the
     authority has received the benefits therefrom, if said contract
     does not evidence any fraud or conspiracy to violate the laws of
     the Commonwealth and neither the authority nor the school
     district or districts for whose benefit the project is
     constructed has suffered any pecuniary loss as the result of
     such failure to comply with the law, then such contract is
     hereby ratified and made valid to the same extent as if separate
     specifications had been prepared, separate bids received and
     separate contracts awarded for the heating and ventilating work.
        Section 2.  The provisions of this act shall become effective
     immediately upon final enactment.
