in the majority report, it will be taking away from the
small counties of this State a voice in the General
Assembly.
I feel, Mr. President, in view of what has
happened in this present body, when the leadership, when
the membership is as it is, when the press not only
in Maryland but in metropolitan Washington praise the
past session for the splendid work, said it was outstand-
ing as a legislature, I feel the membership of both bodies
should remain as it is. Therefore, Mr. President, I
hope this amendment is adopted.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does any delegate desire to speak
in opposition to the amendment?
Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: Sometimes we make one change
and find that we have done a number of different things.
I am afraid if we adopt this amendment we will not
only have affected the size of the legislature, but we
will also have made a number of changes without at all
considering the matter with regard to residence require-
ments. |
