Syllabus

<p>Constitutional law — Statutes—Title of aot — Act of June 10, 1893.</p> <p>The act of June 10, 1893, P. L. 419, entitled “An act to regulate the nomination and election of public officers, requiring certain expenses incident thereto to be paid by several counties and punishing certain offenses in regard to such elections,” is insufficient in title and repugnant to article 3, section 3, of the constitution, in so far as it attempts to regulate the mode of voting on questions of the increase of municipal indebtedness.</p> <p>It seems that if the act were valid, it would repeal the act of June 9, 1891, P. L. 252, providing for the method of voting on questions relating to the increase of municipal indebtedness.</p>
