It seems to me it does divide itself into
|
|
2
|
those three approaches. Keeping that in mind, I would

|
like to have Dr. Loevy give us the substance of his mem-

orandum and then discuss it.

MR. MILES: May I make one comment, Mr. Chair-
|
|
6
|
man, because I would like to hear Dr. Loevy on it. As a

|
11
|
question, unless very broad powers are granted under the

constitution, you would face a political situation and a
|
|
13
|
practical situation where one man could in effect deter-
|
|
14
|
mine whether or not that county should have a charter
|
|
15
|
government.

This has been brought home to me by a great many
|
|
17
|
people moving around the State. They are not squealing

|
|
19
|
they make with respect to this is that there will be quite

|
20
|
a number of counties, nine or ten, that will have only one
|
|
21
|
representative in either branch of the Legislature and
