adding at the end thereof as an additional section, the following:

"Corporations may be formed under general laws, but shall not
be created by speciai act, except for municipal purposes, and in
cases wherein the judgment of the Legislature, the object of the
corporation cannot be attained under general laws. All laws and
special acts passed pursuant to this section, may be altered from
time to time or repealed;"

Which was read.
