held that in view of the fact that
Mr.. Christie was a Democrat a
Democrat should be appointed in his
place. He pointed out that he did

expense, when they already have
lot and a building started upon it.

proposed park is completed, that
the. present site of the proposed
town hall was ideally located. This
