[This act, together with its amendments and supplements, applies to all cities having a population of less than 12,000 inhabitants. The act when enacted was referendum but by L.1911, c. 365, p. 756, became operative in all cities of less than 12,000 inhabitants. The act provides for the division of the city into two or more wards. Where there are two wards three councilmen are elected from each ward, but where there are more than two wards only one councilman is elected from each ward. The original act provided for one councilman at large but by a supplement of 1912 the number was increased to two in cities having an uneven number of wards. In such cases each holds for two years and their terms expire in alternate years. A mayor is elected at large for a two-year term. He is the chief executive officer of the city and head of the police department. The council appoints all officers not elected. There is a board of assessors, a board of education and in certain cases a board of public works. The council is empowered to pass ordinances and provide penalties for violations thereof which are triable before the police court provided for by the act. Specific powers are granted with relation to taxation, improvements, beach protection, condemnation, assessments for benefits, purchase and condemnation of public utility plants and the purchase of private sewers.]
