And that upon this law, a week or two ago, the Borough ^Solicitor of Hammonton ruled that two of the members elect could not be seated because they were not of realty there, and refused to take their oath of office for membership in Council. Will you, therefore, give the law, book and page of reference through your Solicitor or any good legal friend, on qualifications for membership in Borough or City Council that we maur ( whether owning proper*jr ia vital point of the same? And in advance, we may he allowed, to state that the great majority of realty owners feel positive, in the of right and justice, that the : should be aa interpreted above, permitting only those ef their own • number to represent them, aa such.
