Proctor, Hall and Haneman, JJ.
(concurring). We join in Part III of the opinion of the court which holds that the requirements of Chapter 84, L. 1960 (N. J. S. A. 40:69A-167.1), arbitrarily differentiate between cities of the first class governed by the Faulkner Act and other municipalities of the State under the Faulkner Act with regard to eligibility to hold public office. Since determination of this issue is all that is required to decide the controversy before us, we see no necessity for a discussion of the other issues set forth in the court’s opinion.
Jacobs, J., concurs in result.
For reversal •— Chief Justice Weintraub and Justices Jacobs, Francis, Proctor, Hall and Haneman—6.
For affirmance—Hone.
