Opinion

Per Curiam,

This appeal concerns the propriety of an order issued by the Court of Quarter Sessions of Beaver County, acting pursuant to the Act of July 10, 1947, P. L. 1621, §9, as amended by the Act of July 17, 1957, P. L. 987, §2, 53 P.S. §§45601, 45602, whereby it abolished the ward system in the Borough of Ambridge and reduced the number of councilmen from twelve to seven. No question is raised about the court’s power to issue such an order, the sole questions being whether the court followed proper procedure and/or abused its discretion in this particular case.

We granted…
