DELEGATE CARSON: Yes, sir.

2

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.

3

DELEGATE CHABOT: In section 7.05, we use the

4

word "existing" at two places: on line 18 we clearly say

5

"existing at the effective date of this Constitution. "

6

My question is: When we use the word

7

"existing" on line 21, are we talking about that same

8

date, or are we talking about at any time that a municipalit

9

wishes to take one of the acts referred to in section 7.05?

10

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Carson.

11

DELEGATE CARSON: We are talking about the same

12

dates, the word "existing" relating to the same time.

13

THE CHAIRMAN: Any further question, Delegate

14

Chabot?

15

DELEGATE CHABOT: Yes.

16

At the time of the effective dates of this

17

Constitution, since the old Constitution will have passed

18

out of existence unless we do something, the existing

19

powers referred to in line 21 will no longer include

20

what is now in Article 11 (e); is that correct?

21

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Carson.
