"A subseque nt statute revising the whole subject matter of

In the c a se und er sonsideration , the l a tter statute

does amend the for mer.

The l atter was plainly intended

.

t o rmbrace the who le legislati on on the subject to whi ch
it refers, and to be wholly substituted f or al l former
st atutes on the same sub j ect.

The Sumers' Case, supra,

therefore, is in both a s pec ts conclusive of the question
before us, and it is plain that upon the passage of the
Ac t of March 17, 1906, a ll authority ceased to t ax trees
separate and apairt from the l and upon whi ch they stand. "
These cases are appare ntly dealing wi th cases in
which there was no express declaration of an intention to re pe al
the former act.
In the case at bar in the very title of the act, it
is declared that the ob j ect of the act was to re peal Chap ter 146
of the £cts of the Assembly, 1916, approved March 10th, 1916, and
all other acts or parts of acts in conflict with this act.

Here

is an express decla rati on of the l egisl ative intent as to what they
propose t o do; and Chapter 388 of the ~.cts of 1 918, approved March
19th, 1918, purports covering an d it is to cover the entire field
dealing with the li quor traffi c, the former act being re-enacted
and made part of the l at t er act.
