Board of Chosen Freeholders v. Buck
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Board of Chosen Freeholders v. Buck, 49 N.J.L. 228 (N.J. 1886)
7 A. 860; 1886 N.J. LEXIS 8

Board of Chosen Freeholders v. Buck
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The statute entitled “An act to make certain roads, constructed by commissioners under the authority of the legislature, county roads, and to provide for the payment of the expenses of constructing by the county, and for the mode of maintaining and repairing the same” (Pamph. L. 1883, p. 225), is the foundation of the suit, and as we think that this act is applicable to the county of Hudson alone, and can never be applied in any other locality, and is therefore plainly unconstitutional, the judgment in this case must be reversed.
