## Opinion text

On October 13, 1972, the following order was issued by the court:
“whereas this matter is before us on the reservation and report of the single justice; and
*572 “whereas a prompt resolution of the questions presented is required; and
“whereas time does not allow that the opinion in the matter be prepared and filed at this time in view of the exigencies of the situation; and
“whereas said opinion will be filed in the near future; “now, therefore, be it ordered that “General Laws c. 55, § 7, as amended through St. 1972, c. 458, is not effective to prohibit the plaintiffs from making the proposed expenditures which are in issue in this case.”
