Where a special or local law and a later general law relating to the powers of a municipality are merely inconsistent in their respective provisions, and the general law does not in some express terms repeal or supersede the local law, the latter will prevail within its proper sphere of operation unless an intent to repeal or supersede the local law clearly appears in the general law.</p> <p>2. Chapter 6940, Act-s of 1915, a general law “authorizing cities and towns to amend their charters and to adopt charters for their government,” does not repeal stated provisions of Chapter 6746, Acts of 1913, a special or local law, relating to the municipal powers of the city of’ Pensacola.</p>
