Syllabus

<p>School law — Act of May 18, 1911, P. L. 809 — School districts of the second class — Tax collectors — Cities of the third class — City treasurer — Act of June 20, 1901, P. L. 578 — Constitutional law— Local and special legislation.</p> <p>A city treasurer of a city of the third class, who by virtue of his office is collector of city, school and poor taxes, under the provisions of the Act of June 20, 1901, P. L. 578, is entitled to collect school taxes in a school district of the second class, coincident with such city, notwithstanding he was elected after the approval of the Act of May 18,1911, P. L. 309, providing for. the appointment of school tax collectors in certain cases. The fact that in some school districts of the second class the school board may appoint the tax collector, while in others they may not, is not sufficient to condemn the Acts of May 18,1911, P. L. 309, and June 20, 1901, P. L. 578, as unconstitutional.</p>
