1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Moschziskeb,
This case arises on a petition for mandamus and demurrer thereto, the question presented being whether a proposed constitutional amendment, — providing for á bond issue to continue the road program of the Commonwealth, — which has been agreed to by the legislature a second time, may be published prior to an election held throughout the State in an odd-numbered year, such elections being technically termed “municipal” and those held in even-numbered years alone being called “general.”
