Syllabus

<p>Constitutional law — Statutes—Sufficiency of title — Act of July 11,1917, P. L. 818 — Disposition of dog taxes — Collection under existing lams — Repeal of statutes.</p> <p>The title of tbe Act of July 11,1917, P. L. 818, being sufficiently comprehensive to give notice of the intent to deal with the entire subject of taxing or licensing of dogs, the disposition of the taxes imposed, being one of the incidents to its enforcement, required no express mention in the title of the act, although the act made a different disposition of dog taxes, previously collected under existing laws and on hand at the time of its passage, by directing that the money be paid to the general county fund instead of the school district fund.</p> <p>A general .act complete in itself and intended to create a new system, need not contain in its title notice of intention to repeal earlier laws on the same subject.</p>
