Editor's Note: As stated in the long title
to Ord. No. 325, the original purpose of the Authority was to "acquire,
hold, construct, improve, maintain and operate, own, lease, either
in the capacity of lessor or lessee, public school buildings." Under
present state law, school district may acquire, construct and operate
their own buildings and the Authority no longer exercises that function.
The President of the Board of Township Commissioners
and the Secretary thereof are hereby authorized and directed to execute
on behalf of the Township of Springfield, Articles of Incorporation
