Forest City - The people of Forest City desire to have better accommodations for a post office. The postmaster desired to locate it in the municipal or boro building, providing the boro authorities could provide a suitable room. The fire company also desire a change in their room which they occupied in the municipal building, so the boro council commenced making some alterations in the building so as to accommodate the fire company with a room on [the] side of [the] building and change the room they had occupied in front for a post office for which a fair rental was to be paid by the post office department. However, an injunction was filed restraining the borough authorities from making any such change, claiming that the borough council had no authority to use public funds for such purpose-that municipal buildings could not be used or rented for any other than municipal purposes. Judge Little handed down an opinion dissolving the injunction, thus permitting the boro to make the change desired. His opinion involved a legal question that the courts of PA had not yet decided. An appeal, it is understood, will be taken.
