BONDING LAW
DOESN'T STAND

According 20 a decision handed down
by the Judges IN Superior Court yes-
ierdav afternoon, tho action OF city

August requiring the assessors and
collectors Of this city 70 give a cor
porntion bond upon assuming office. is
Illegal The decision was made in the
amicable case of the Mayor and Coun-
GU Of Wilmington against Eugene NJ.
sayers. City Solicitor Townsend gave
his opinion that the ordinance was
Illegal before n was passed, and his
view is thus sustained BY the court
Section % Of the city charter requires
that the assessors shall give freehold
bond. while the ordinance requires
that they shall bond with a surety or
bonding company. City Solicitor
Townsend brought the action by ask.
ing for a peremptory mandamus to
compel Eugene NJ. Savers, assessor
and collector OF tho Southern district.
TO bond as the ordinance required. He
had bonded under the requirements Of
the city charter and resisted. Robert
g. Harman appeared for Mr. Sayers.
Mr. Harman contended that as tho
ordinance in question conaicfed with
the city charter, IL virtually meant a
repeal Of that section and this Coun-
ell could not do. for. he said. IT was
In direct violation OF the constitution.
as Council cannot by ordinance either
repeal the entire charter or amend any
section, for Il then usurDs the func-
tions Of the General Assembly. which
has the power only 10 make such
amendments and then only by two
thirds vote.
