Heading: the whirl-o-ball case.

Text: The defendants relied on the Whirl-O-Ball case, supra, the gist of which was that R.S. 40:179-116, formerly L. 1900, c. 99, sec. 4, as amended L. 1919, c. 252, supra, independently of other statutes in pari materia, authorized Asbury Park to lease certain boardwalk store premises owned by the municipality to Benjamin A. Cardilla, trading as Convention Hall Amusements (136 N.J.L., at page 317). The arguments presented in this appeal have revived this issue of construction as prophesied in the Anschelewitz case, supra. The construction of the pertinent statutes hereinbefore expressed is in opposition to the construction placed on R.S. 40:179-116, supra, by the former Court of Errors and Appeals in the Whirl-O-Ball case, supra, and we therefore conclude that it must be and is overruled in this respect.
