Larkey v. City of Bayonne

The Supreme Court allowed this writ to test the validity of an ordinance of the city of Bayonne fixing the term of the health officer of that city for the term of five years. The ordinance was adopted April 5th, 1938. The writ also tests the validity of an ordinance adopted January 5th, 1939, designed to repeal the earlier ordinance. The ordinance of April 5th, 1938, besides fixing the term, imposed upon the health officer the duty of enforcing the sanitary code and all other ordinances relating to the public health. The prosecutor was duly appointed November 14th, 1938, and qualified.
