1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

It is conceded that the same questions are involved in this case as were involved in the case of Vulcanite Paving Co. v. Philadelphia, 239 Pa. 524. Therefore, the same order will be made here as was made there, thus preserving the defendant’s right of appeal in accordance with the practice indicated in Hunt v. Phila. & Reading Ry. Co., 224 Pa. 604-610.

The judgment is reversed with instructions to the court below to enter judgment on the verdict.
