Opinion by
Judge Rogers,

We affirm the order on the opinion of Judge Scirica of the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, reported in Pa. I). & C.3rd , noting, however, that the Supreme Court in Franklin Township v.

Commonwealth Ct. 514, 415 A.2d 1014 (1980) cited by Judge Scirica but on an issue not involved in this case.
Order
And Now, this 4th day of February, 1983, the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County dated April 6,1981 is affirmed.
