There is nothing ún the Act of May 3, 1909, P. L. 392, which malíes it obligatory on the court to direct an issue in such a case.</p> <p>Township commissioners are not entitled to be paid for their services for the inspection of a road built by the State through the township or for services in the inspection and examination of the streets, bridges, etc. If orders for such services are directed to the township treasurer he is bound to take notice of their invalidity, and if he pays them, he does so at his peril.</p>
