Something by which to ascertain the truth respecting another thing.
Depue v. Place, 7 Pa. 428.
The requirement that an officer be a resident of the municipality in which he is to be elected for three years in order to be eligible to an office is not a test within the meaning of a constitutional provision that no other oath, declaration or test than a prescribed oath shall be required as a qualification for an office; Attorney General v. Mac- Donald, 164 Mich. 590, 129 N. W. 1050, 32 L. R. A. (N. S.) 835. Such a statute is not invalid as imposing disqualifications not imposed by the constitution; State v. Covington, 29 Ohio St. 102. That a state constitution designates the qualifications of certain officers named therein will not render invalid provisions in a city charter requiring a tax collector to have been an elector of the city and county for five years next preceding his election; Sheehan v. Scott, 145 Cal. G84, 79 Pac. 350.
