14. That if any matter in difference should arise within one year after the consolidation

hereinbefore provided for shall take effect, between the inhabitants of that portion

of the consolidated city formerly constituting such borough or other municipality

and the inhabitants of the city as constituted prior to said consolidation, it shall

be lawful for the council or other governing body of such city, borough or other municipality

to apply to the circuit court of the county in which the city prior to the consolidation

was located for the appointment of a commission of six persons, three of whom shall

be residents of said city as it existed prior to consolidation, and three shall be

residents of the part of the city formerly constituting such borough or other municipality,

and said commission when appointed shall hear such matter in difference and make such

order touching the same as shall be just and reasonable, which order may be enforced,

if necessary, by mandamus issued by the supreme court. The council or other governing body of such borough or other municipality shall

continue in office for one year after such consolidation shall take effect, for the

purpose of making such application if deemed necessary. Provided, nothing in this act shall in any way apply to or affect the consolidation

of two or more municipalities heretofore accepted by a majority of the legal voters

of one or more municipalities authorized under any general or special law of the state

of New Jersey to consolidate.
