176 Pa. 80; 34 A. 954; 1896 Pa. LEXIS 1045

Sener v. Corporation of the Borough of Ephrata

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The learned judge of the court below reached a correct conclusion in this case. The act of 1895 is plainly expressed, is definite in its directions, and free from ambiguity. We cannot reform it to meet a supposed legislative intent not expressed and not apparent on its face. The conclusions of law drawn by the learned judge are an adequate discussion of the subject, and justify the decree appealed from. It is affirmed upon these conclusions. The costs to be paid by the appellant.
