the action of the Pennsylvania Lcgls-H

First. AS 10 the right OF the Reading

only Ian officers and law-makers of the
State ignorant of the provisions of the
constitution of 1S73. Ali the corporations

To the adoption of the new constitution.
The Supreme Court of the State has
uniformly held that these constitutional
limitations did not apply TO corporations
existing prior TO the passage of the new
