Syllabus
<p>Municipalities — Boroughs—Municipal indebtedness — Increase of debt— Elections — Act of April 18, 18.95.</p> <p>Under the act of April 18, 1895, P. L. 36, a municipality can only increase its indebtedness at any one time, at any one election, by an amount not over two per centum, by a vote of the people.</p> <p>The court will not assume that the two lines commencing with the 18th line of section 4 of the act of April 20, 1874, P. L. 65, were accidentally dropped in the act of April 18, 1895, P. L. 36.</p> <p>It seems that the act of April 18, 1895, P. L. 36, is not defective in title, and is constitutional.</p>
