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.
If, however, the word ‘county! as
should be held to be
merely descriptive in a larger sense of
