ATLANTIC CITY TAX OUTLAWED The law passed by the 1945 legis lature enabling Atlantic City to im pose a sales tax was declared uncon stitutional by the New Jersey su preme court.

In an opinion written by Justice Harry Heher, who heard the case on Dec. 10, 1945 together with Justices Ralph W. E. Donges and Frederic Colie, the court held that the law contravened a provision of the state constitution against special and local laws. The law as passed by the 1945 legislature limits the power to levy a three percent sales tax to seashore resorts on the Atlantic ocean with population In excess "of 50,000 in which an emergency has been declared to exist.

Atlantic City, the only municipality eligible under that classification, pressed for enactment of the legislation as the result of the damage wrough by the hurricane of Sept. 14, 1944. The court ruled that'other seaside resorts suffered proportionately equal beach erosion and vacationing attrac- Hons. Atlantic City maintained that it was in "a class by Itself" because of the great fluctuation of its population. The court ruled that there is no substantial basis for differentiating between Atlantic City and the smaller localities similarly circumstanced.

The subject matter is essentially one for a general law and the classification Is obviously a contrivance designed to evade the constitutional prohibition." Maintaining that there was "no difference of substance between the class selected and the class excluded from levying a sales tax, Justice Heher said this was especially true of Long Branch and Asbury Park. The suit for review of the act war, brought by Mrs. Luella Koons, and Justice Heher denied a contention that she had no legal right to Initiate the case.
