*Sections 104 to 121 of article 25 of the code of 1904, sub-title "Private Roads,"
were declared to be unconstitutional in Arnsperger v. Crawford, 101 Md. 225.
Although this decision was apparently obiter dictum—the appeal being dis-
missed—it is thought proper to omit said sections. For other cases affecting said
sections, see Jay v. Michael, 92 Md. 209; Owings v. Worthington, 10 G. & J. 293;
Miles v. Stevenson, 80 Md. 367; Hoshall v. Hoffacker, 11 Md. 364.
