Feuchtbaum v. Mayor & Township Committee of the Township of Wodbridge
Feuchtbaum v. Mayor & Township Committee of the Township of Wodbridge
Opinion of the Court
This is an application for a writ of certiorari to review an ordinance adopted by the township committee of the township of Woodbridge, granting permission to the Cedar Grove Cemetery Association to locate and place a cemetery within the boundaries of the township. This is the fifth application for a certiorari. The prior applications were made to a justice of the Supreme Court, and were all denied.
The single point advanced by prosecutor is that more than five cemeteries are now located within the township, and the ordinance therefore is in violation of section 2 of chapter 20 of the laws of 1929 (Pamph. L. 1929, p. 41), providing that "no more than five cemeteries shall be located or placed under and by virtue of said act to which this is a supplement, in any one city, township, borough or town in any county of this state.” It is further provided that where the capacity of an existing cemetery is exhausted, so that no further plots can be purchased, an additional cemetery may be created or placed
The application will therefore be denied, with costs.
