Woodhull v. Manahan

205 A.2d 441, 43 N.J. 445, 1964 N.J. LEXIS 171

Opinions

The opinion of the court was delivered

PER CuRIAM.

The Appellate Division held the mayor of the Town of Morristown has the power to veto appointments by the Common Council of the town attorney and committees of the Council. Woodhull v. Manahan, 85 N. J. Super. 157 (1964). A petition for certification was filed and because of time limitations, we directed argument on the merits prior to action upon the petition.

The legislative treatment of the subject is obscure. We cannot be confident of an answer either way and hence we are content to accept the result reached by the Appellate Division, leaving it to the Legislature to provide otherwise if its intent was misconceived.

The petition for certification is granted, and the judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed. No costs.
