In an action for a declaratory judgment, the appeal is (1) from so much of an order as denied appellant’s motion for summary judgment striking out the answers of respondents and as granted respondents’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaints, and (2) from so much of the judgment entered on said order as adjudges that respondents have judgment dismissing the complaints. Appellant, a benevolent corporation, was incorporated by chapter 485 of the Laws of 1903. Section 6 of that act provided that all the tax on the business of foreign fire insurance companies doing business within the City of New Rochelle (payable under the then § 133, now § 553, of the Insurance Law) shall be paid to appellant, except the sum payable to the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York. By chapter 559 of the Laws of 1910, entitled “An Act to provide a charter for the city of New Rochelle”, not only was a new charter enacted for the City of New Rochelle and the 1899 charter repealed, but section 6 of the act incorporating appellant was also repealed. Despite the 1910 repeal of the section giving appellant the right to receive payment of the tax moneys mentioned, they were paid to appellant until 1957. In this action against the City of New Rochelle and one representing the paid firemen of said city, appellant seeks, among other things, to recover the tax moneys for the year 1957 which were paid by the State Insurance Department to the Treasurer of the City of New Rochelle, instead of to appellant, on discovery of the 1910 repeal. Order and judgment insofar as appealed from reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, appellant’s motion granted, and respondents’ cross motion denied, with $10 costs to appellant. Section 16 (now § 15) of article III of the New York State Constitution provided that no private or local bill shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title. The 1910 act was a local bill within the meaning of the Constitution. The title of the act expressed as its only purpose the enactment of the new charter, whereas the substance of the act embraced not only the new charter, but the repeal of section 6 of chapter 485 of the Laws of 1903. The 1910 act embraced more than one subject, and the second subject was not expressed in the title. The 1910 act is therefore unconstitutional insofar as it attempted to repeal the right of appellant to receive the tax moneys. (Cahill v. Hogan, 180 N. Y. 304; Matter of
