<p>Constitution—Local acts—Loads—Act of June 12, 1893.</p> <p>A law which is general in character and applies to all townships throughout the commonwealth, is not unconstitutional because, by its adoption in 'some townships and not in others, local results may be produced.</p> <p>The act of June 12, 1893, P. L. 451, entitled an act “ enabling the taxpayers of townships and road districts to contract for making at their own expense the roads, and paying salaries of township or road district officers, and thereby preventing the levy and collection of road taxes therein,” does not violate art. 3, § 7 of the constitution relating to local and special legislation.</p>
