good order

A term often used in describing goods in a contract of sale which is somewhat flexible in meaning and varies according to the understanding of the particular trade or business, but not necessarily requiring absolute soundness or perfection. 46 Am J1st Sales § 150. As applied to streets, the term is not synonymous with "good repair." A portion of a street might be in good repair as a dirt road, or as cobblestone pavement, and yet might be in bad order, plight, or condition to bear the increased burdens and accommodate the travel of a modern city. Danville v Danville Railway & Electric Co. 114 Va 382, 76 SE 913. The term as it appears in a naturalization statute which provides that no person shall be naturalized unless he is well disposed to the "good order" of the United States, is a term of vague content, which of necessity must be construed with the purpose of the statute in mind, that is to admit to citizenship only persons who are in accord generally with the basic principles of the community. 3 Am J2d Aliens § 138.
