Opinion:
On argument, order reversed on the law, without costs, the ordinance declared invalid, and the matter remitted to the Board of Supervisors to erect Assembly districts in conformity with the pertinent constitutional provisions. The Constitution does not permit the division of a town in erecting Assembly districts, or the election of Assemblymen at large. Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals is granted. Close, P. J., Hagarty, Carswell, Adel and Aldrich, JJ., concur. [See post, p. 988.]
