Vice-Chairman? Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: Judge Adkins, if we were to
agree with the Committee's Report on this point but dis-
agree with the Committee's Report on Point I, the Public
Works Board, in what way would this restrict our actions
as we proceed further on in the Constitution? Do you feel
that we could then establish such a board and designate
some officer to serve? Are we restricted simply in the
use of the word "Comptroller" as the designation of the
officer?
DELEGATE ADKINS: No. I would say the answer
to that is clearly No. If you agree with the Majority Report
here and eliminate the Comptroller as an elected office,
it is still before the Convention to construct, to either
deny a Board of Public Works constitutional status or to
construct such a Board of Public Works for the Constitution,
as the Convention thinks wise. There is no magic in having
an elected Comptroller as a member of the Board of Public
Works if that is your question. I am not sure that answers
it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.
