New Jersey Acts Saved from Repeal ACTS SAVED 40 § 43-65(4)

4. That ward and election district lines of such consolidated city shall be laid out with regard to the county lines, so that no ward or election district will lie partly in one county and partly in another county. If the wards and election districts of such borough or other municipality at the time of such consolidation appear to be practicable, or if the whole territory of such borough or other municipality is such that it may be designated as a single ward or election district, the governing body of such city may, without other formality, by resolution, adopt such wards and election districts or the whole of such borough or other municipality as a ward and election district, numbering the same as a ward or wards and as an election district or districts of such city, and file a certified copy of such resolution in the offices of the county clerks of the counties in which such city so consolidated is located. In case it is found impracticable to adopt such wards and election districts, or the whole territory as a ward and election district, then new wards and election districts may be created in such city, covering such borough or other municipality consolidated therewith, in the manner provided by the charter or general laws governing such city. Immediately after such wards are established as aforesaid, members of the common council, aldermen and other officers and members of boards to which such wards are entitled under the laws governing such city, shall be appointed to hold office until the first day of January following the next election of city officers, in the manner provided by law for the filling of vacancies in cases of like officers and members of boards in such city.
