Syllabus

<p>1. When tbe government of a city or town is controlled by the general municipal incorporation act neither six months residence nor registration is requisite to eligibility to office in such city or town.</p> <p>2. It is apparent from the proceedings of the Convention which framed our present Constitution, that it was not intended to make the qualifications of officers, other than the Governor and members and Senators of the Legislature, dependent on the qualifications for voters.</p> <p>3. The requisite qualifications for electors do not necessarily apply to officers, in the absence of any constitutional or statutory provision to that effect.</p>
