Opinion

BRICKEN, J.

[1] This appeal is on the record. There are hut two propositions involved: The first question presented is, Can the Legislature delegate to the court of county commissioners of Lamar county the authority to make and promulgate rules and regulations, the violation of which constitutes crime. This question has been decided in the affirmative in the following cases: Whaley v. State, 168 Ala. 152, 52 South. 941, 30 L. R. A. (N. S.) 499; State v. McCarty, 5 Ala. App. 212, 59 South. 543; Floyd v. State, 15 Ala. App. 654, 74 South. 752.

[2] The next insistence is that the license tax upon vehicles is a double taxation, and is therefore unconstitutional and void. This question was decided adversely to the ruling of the lower court in the instant case in Hudgens v. State, 72 South. 605. 1 The court therefore erred in sustaining the demurrers to the complaint, and for the errors pointed out, the judgment of the lower court is reversed, and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
