To the Honorable the Board Of Aldermen
of Jersey City,
Genlemen-Chapter 391 of the Laws of
1875, Of which You ask my opinion. Is con
fned in its operation to cities of the first
class. It provides that the term of office
p az commissions appointed under the
act of 1887. and the supplements thereto.
n such cities shall expire ION the day
%f olft IN the contract or contracts and
mentioned as the day of the completion
p me work to be performed. 1t win be
seen that there might be trouble If the
lays mentioned in two contracts should
differ. The act further provides that. in
ease the City Hall in course of erection

be completed in the time set out as the
date of completion In said contract or
contracts, then there shall be another
Commission appointed to complete the
contract; that the President of such Com
mission shall receive a salary. n that
thereafter such Commission shall have
ehargs of such City Hall, etc.
City IS HAL thus IN pr0vi eIfS' Il that t. if ars 4
class shall be completed on time it would
thereafter be in the custody of a described
commission, while in cities of the first
exist. The distinction is confined to cities
Of the first class. and it would be as al
lowable. under our constitutional inhibi-
ton OF special legislation for the regula-
ton of the internal affairs of cities, to
provide that City Halls in cities of the
first class, where the janitor of the build
ing had a mother-in-law with a glass eye
should be hereafter under the control of
the Fire Department. The act of 1895. so
far as it empowers the BODY now acting
Is unconstitutional.
Respectfully.
