committee, and I believe the small counties, the
small communities think that this legislature has to stay

I believe that in the compromise which is involved

believe that as we delegate so many other functions to the
legislature it is proper for us to delegate to the
legislature the possibilities of providing better
government within limits. This is the view which the
minority adopts, and we respectfully urge that you vote
favorably upon the amendment to the committee recommendation
Thank you, Mr. President.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions of the
minority spokesman for the purposes of clarification of the
minority report? |
