All those in favor, signify by saying Aye;
contrary, No. The Ayes have it. It is so
ordered.
Are there any reports of other standing
committees?
(There was no response.)
THE PRESIDENT: Committee Recom-
mendation LG-I. The Clerk will read the
recommendation.
READING CLERK: Committee Recom-
mendation No. LG-I by the Committee on
Local Government, M. Peter Moser, Chair-
man.
A RECOMMENDATION that the con-
stitution include an article on local govern-
ment containing sections on definitions, es-
tablishment of counties, structure of county
government, change in structure of county
government, powers of county government,
general application of laws, existing mu-
nicipal corporations, new municipal cor-
porations, civil units, additional powers of
municipal corporations, credit limitations
of local government, establishment of multi-
county governmental units, financing of
intergovernmental authorities and that the
article on general provisions contain a sec-
tion on intergovernmental cooperation and
agreements.
THE PRESIDENT: Committee Recom-
mendation No. LG-I is referred to the
Committee of the Whole.
You will also have during the course of
the afternoon Committee Memorandum No.
LG-I, in support of this recommendation.
I might suggest to you at that point that
so far as the President knows or the Chair-
man of the Committee on Calendar, there
is no minority report on the local govern-
ment article. If there is any intention to file
a minority report, I urge those preparing
such report to do so promptly so that it
may be circulated. As indicated by Delegate
Powers, the article will be before the Com-
mittee of the Whole for discussion on Fri-
day, and perhaps even Thursday afternoon,
if other business permits.
There is in connection with Minority Re-
port LB-1 (A) an addendum, copy of which
has been presented to me. I do not know
whether it has been printed yet. It will be
circulated to you sometime during the
course of the day.
Minority Report No. S & E-I(A) has
been filed and is received. No further action
is necessary. |
Are there any other reports of standing
committees?
(There was no response.)
There also has been filed Minority Re-
port S & E-I(B). It will be received and
filed, and Minority Report S & E-I(C) will
be received and filed. I believe 1(C) has
been circulated. The other two have not as
yet been circulated. These will be. Make
sure you get them because this will be on
the Calendar for consideration tomorrow.
There are no other reports of standing
committees. There are no new proposals.
Motions and resolutions: there is one
resolution, Resolution No. 19. The Clerk
will read the resolution.
READING CLERK: Resolution No. 19,
by Delegate Chabot.
A RESOLUTION to extend the session
of this Convention to January 12, 1968.
THE PRESIDENT: Resolution No. 19
is referred to the Committee on Calendar
and Agenda.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move the Convention resolve itself into
the Committee of the Whole, subject to the
provisions for control and limitation of
debate as set forth in the Debate Schedule
No. 1, distributed to the delegates.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there a second?
(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)
For what purpose does Delegate Gleason
arise?
DELEGATE GLEASON: Mr. President,
I would like to get some clarification of the
time limitations proposed here by the Chair-
man of the Committee.
THE PRESIDENT: Before you do that,
may 1 interrupt the proceedings to perform
a chore which I have been asked to per-
form? Since the adjournment yesterday, all
of the microphones in the Chamber have
been checked, and a great many of them
have been replaced. Part of the difficulty
we had been having is due to the micro-
phones, and a part is due to the improper
use of the microphones.
The amplifying equipment which has
been installed in the Convention Chamber,
and the microphones are extremely sensi-
tive. Please exercise care in restoring them
to the position between the desks because
repeated banging or jarring will distort the
sensitive mechanism. |
