Note 513 — Chapter VI · JOHN WILKES, VICTOR BERGER, AND THE FIVE MEMBERS

Rathbone v. Wirth, 150 N. Y. 459, 485 (1896), and see cases cited from other states. (Some of the judges rested the invalidity of the statute on other clauses of the N. Y. Constitution.) The legislature may of course impose requirements which relate directly to fitness for the particular office, e.g., that only physicians are eligible to the board of health. Rogers v. Common Council, 123 N. Y. 173, 184 (1890).
