Castles v. Mayor of Kearny

The prosecutor, an exempt fireman, seeks the review of an ordinance abolishing his office. He was first appointed municipal superintendent of the town of Kearny for the term of one year, pursuant to an ordinance passed July 26th, 1911, and supplemented August 23d, 1911. His duties were to secure enforcement of the laws and ordinances relating to weights and measures and building construction and alteration. He later became also charged with the duty of issuing jitney licenses. He served the municipality continuously until February 13th, 1935, when he was ousted without charges being preferred.
