““After the adoption of this amendment, the Legislature could not pass a valid local act. They could not amend a local act, but they were given authority in the amendment to repeal local acts. “Act 205 of the Acts of 1927 amended § 321 of Crawford & Moses’ Digest. This section of the Digest is § 1 of the local act of 1915, above mentioned. It provides for the per cent, of qualified electors necessary for the county court to order an election and a vote by the people.””
