1968In the recent case of McCormick v. Vigo County High School Building Corp. (1967), 248 Ind. 263 , 10 Ind. Dec. 477 , 226 N. E. 2d 328 , Judge Arterburn found Chapter 357 of the Acts of 1967 to be severable by pointing out on page 332 that “Chapter 3 of the Acts of 1967 has a severability clause.” In substance, Chapter 357 is a reasonable attempt to give citizens and taxpayers a fair hearing in questioning the actions of their elected and appointed officials without completely frustrating the processes of municipal government.
