opinion just given to Joseph w.
Hunter, Deputy Highway Commits
sioner, by Morris Wolf, Deputy Attor-
ney General. Mr.. Hunter is chief of
the township road bureau and many
questions have arisen as to the effect
of the act of last year. In one instance
1t was asked whether the application
OF the act of 1S45 to Cain township,
chester county, by an act of 1869, in
terfered with the act of 1913
Mr.. Wolf says the act of 1918 takes
precedence, citing numerous instances
where its provisions supersede the
carrier statute, saying it is manifest
! ly inconsistent with the act of 1913"
He cites the change of the super
visors, State control and financial aid
from the State. Even without the
express repeater the act of 1913 would
act to repeal the inconsistent act of
1916.
