THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher.
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: They em-
ploy the land use maps, they go to auto-
mobile registration and a variety of sources
of data, the point being that it appears to
be the best source of data available at a
given time.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Hickman.
DELEGATE HICKMAN: I would sug-
gest that in local government we have a
transitory provision which brings into ef-
fect certain things in 1972, and I would
suggest that the transitory provisions here
could bring into effect 3.02 in 1974.
I would hope we would not put expe-
diency before accuracy.
THE CHAIRMAN : Does any other dele-
gate desire to speak in opposition to the
amendment?
Delegate Smith.
DELEGATE SMITH: Is there time to
reply to Delegate Gallagher before we vote?
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair will give
you further opportunity to speak.
Does any delegate desire to speak in fur-
ther opposition?
The Chair recognizes Delegate Marvin
Smith to speak in favor of the amendment.
DELEGATE M. SMITH: Mr. Chairman,
it is apparent that either I do not speak the
English language properly, or else some
other people have closed their eyes to that
which I have said.
At no time in this amendment have I
proposed that we postpone for the matter
of six years reapportionment or redistrict-
ing. What I have proposed, sir, was to sug-
gest that there be a special temporary pro-
vision with reference to 1970.
I suggested to you, sir, that we should
not engrain into this Constitution a pro-
vision that would go on guesstimates every
twenty years. This, sir, is the thrust of
the amendment.
THE CHAIRMAN : Is there any further
discussion?
(There was no response.)
Are you ready for the question?
(Call for the question.)
Ring the quorum bell, please.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 3 to Committee Recom-
|
mendation LB-2. A vote Aye is a vote in
favor of Amendment No. 3. A vote No is
a vote against.
Cast your votes. Has every delegate
voted? Does any delegate desire to change
his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 36 votes in the affirmative
and 78 in the negative, the motion is lost.
The amendment is rejected.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. Chairman,
I move the Committee of the Whole rise
and report that it has not yet concluded its
consideration of Committee Recommenda-
tion LB-2.
THE CHAIRMAN: Seconded?
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: All in favor signify
by saying Aye; contrary, No. The Ayes
have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 6:00 P.M., the Committee
of the Whole rose, and the Convention re-
convened.)
(The mace was replaced by the Sergeant-
at-Arms.)
PLENARY SESSION
DECEMBER 1, 1967—6:00 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Convention will
come to order, please.
The Chair reports on behalf of the Com-
mittee of the Whole that it has had under
consideration Committee Recommendation
LB-2, that it still has it under considera-
tion, and desires leave to sit again.
Are there any announcements to be made
by committee chairmen before dinner re-
cess?
Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: Mr. President,
the Committee on the Executive Branch
will meet tomorrow morning at 9:00 A.M.
to consider the attorney general amend-
ment.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements by committee chairmen?
