Tie qUestion of whether the citizents of Allegheny county will have cight to ballot on he propose4 ropolitan charter plan at the Me cerieral election this fall or not. will be argued before the Pennsylvania state supreme court this morning. The case comes to the court in the form of an appeal by the! Nttropolitan plan commission from a decree of the Allegheny county court of COMM011 pleas restraining.

the county commissioners from resubmitting the plan to the voters without action by the state Legislature. Attorney Charles K. Robinson. representing the commission. and County Solicitor W.

Heber Dithrich will argue that the commissioners have the right to place the question on the ballot. NVilliam M. Hall. attorney for James Phillip O'Conner. will present the opposing view.

The suit is a friendly action, O'Conner being invited by the commission to test the case. The case was before the supreme court before but was thrown out on the ground that there was no controversy and that the court was being used merely as an agency through which to obtain legal advice. In he previous action. the county commissioners. upon being petitioned by the commission did not act but passed the matter on to the court of common pleas which held that the commissioners had no right to resubmit the question.

The Metropolitan charter would make Pittsburgh and Allegheny county co-terminous and was designed to give the city fifth place in population among the cities of the United States in the 1930 census and to effect improvements in municipal government.
