<p>Road law — Boroughs—Acts of April 3, 1851, and June 13, 1836.</p> <p>The exclusive power of the authorities of a borough to regulate roads, streets, alleys, etc., under the act of April 3,1851, P. L. 320, does not extend to public roads laid out to a point within the borough limits where only a part of the road is within the borough.</p> <p>The meaning of the words “roads, streets and alleys,” in the act of April 3, 1851, is confined to such as begin and end in the borough, and not to such roads as are or may be opened through the borough of which a part only is within the borough limits.</p> <p>The general borough act of April 3,1851, P. L. 320, does not repeal the general road law of June 13, 1836, P. L. 551, authorizing the court of quarter sessions to lay out private roads, although such private roads be entirely within the borough limits.</p>
