In Re Application of Lamb

170 A.2d 34, 34 N.J. 448, 1961 N.J. LEXIS 228

Opinion

Per Curiam.

A petition was filed in the Appellate Division alleging that Chapter 1, Latvs of 1961, was void on the ground that it was not adopted in the manner required by the Constitution. The Appellate Division sustained the act. The applicants prosecuted the present appeal.

Eor the reasons given by the Appellate Division we are satisfied the Governor was empowered by Art. Y, sec. 1, par. 12 of the Constitution to convene the General Assembly to consider the subject of reapportionment and that his call was sufficient to that end. The challenge to the validity of the bill adopted by the General Assembly in response to the Governor’s call is accordingly without merit. The judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed.

For affirmance—Chief Justice Weihtraub, and Justices Jacobs, Eraucis, Proctor, Hall, Schettino and Hane-MA3ST-7.

For reversal—None.
