1. In construing the constitutional provision that every law shall embrace but one object, and that shall be expressed in the title, the language of the title should be reasonably and liberally interpreted, and should not be technically or critically construed, nor should it be held insufficient unless the question is free from doubt.
2. Chapter 114 of the laws of 1934, entitled "An act concerning officers and employes and members of police and fire departments of counties and municipalities of this state," consists of four sections, the first three of which deal with the reinstatement of employes dismissed from employment as firemen or policemen entirely for reasons of economy, and obviously refer to members of those departments affected subsequent to the passage of the act, while the fourth section extends the benefits of the act to those in such departments who were removed or demoted before the act was passed. Held, that the title sufficiently indicates the legislative intent, and that it was not necessary to particularly refer in the title to the appointment of members of such municipal departments who had been discharged prior to the enactment and those who might be discharged afterwards.

For affirmance — THE CHANCELLOR, CHIEF JUSTICE, PARKER, LLOYD, CASE, BODINE, DONGES, HEHER, PERSKIE, DEAR, WELLS, WOLFSKEIL, RAFFERTY, JJ. 13.
