The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a town council could set cemetery fees through a resolution or an internal directive. The town council established fee rates for burial services, but the Governor declared the resolution invalid, arguing the 1959 cemetery law had been repealed. The Court ruled that while the specific 1959 provision was repealed, the council retains the authority to set fees for public utility services via a formal resolution rather than an internal act. Consequently, the Court upheld the validity of the council's resolution as a binding offer for civil contracts.
