Judge Woods, of the Mifflin-Bedford-Huntingdon dis- trict, has passed upon this very point and declared the Act unconstitutional We feel inclined to If the word *' coun- is interpreted to mean the county in counterdistinction with the townships, the Act would certainly impose the burden of maintaining the turnpike in question unequally upon the several citizens of the county. For instance, the plaintiff township would be entirely relieved as a township from the expense of maintaining the twelve miles within its own limits, and would be liable 10 an exceedingly slight taxa- tion as a portion of the entire county. While the taxpayers of the neighbor- ing borough of Millheim would not only have the burden of maintaining the whole of the said turnpike within would be liable also taxation would be necessary through the agency of the county for maintaining the same turn- pike or other portions of the turnpike in plaintif’'s township. In other words, the citizens of Millheim bor- ough would be made at once liable to a double taxation for the maintenance of this turnpike while the citizens of Haines township would be liable in only one capacity. This clearly offends against the constitution.

Owe of the principal is, that it is monde in the sliernative, providing not Act of 1905, fmproved under any existing laws by the said county, city or borough ; and it has been polluted out that on its very face the Act is inconsistent with itself for lack or want of unifor- mity and necessarily places upon the officinla of municipalitive the right of election, a right that cwnnot be dels gated by the Legislatury, But we think the mote serious ques- tion raised by the defendant is that the Act offends against Article IX of the constitution, requiring all taxes to be the fronts of the Penns Valley Bank building on Main and Church streets.
