ERVIN, P.J., August 17, 1951.
This is a bill in equity filed by Marple Township, a second class township, to prevent the operation of a quarry, alleging that such operation was a violation of its zoning ordinance. The defense was two-fold, first, that the ground had been used as a quarry for 25 years and was therefore a nonconforming use and, secondly, that the zoning ordinance is unconstitutional as affecting defendants' land.
