restraint upon that constitutional grant of power through

by the Committee at its last meeting. You will recall,

5

then, we asked Dr. Loevy to reduce the thoughts of the

6

Committee to writing and he has made available a third

7

report or a report which bears the caption of Third Report,

8

and is further captioned, Continuation. It really is a

9

continuation of the first report and not particularly or

10

directly related to the third report itself.

11

That third report is a matter which, I think,

12

we ought to take some final action on as a committee.

The recommendation there is first of all that the new

14

constitution retain the concept already in the existing

15

constitution of having new basic units of government when

16

created submitted to the voters for their approval or dis-

17

approval by way of referendum. The repprter points out

18

that this would apply only to the basic unit of government

19

and is not to apply to units of government such as the

20

port authorities, taxing authorities, pollution authorities,

21

or any metropolitan governments composed of combinations
