particular localities affected. It would be actually
|
|
2
|
Statewide in its effect all throughout the entire State.

|
MR. MELVIN: I don't understand that.
|
|
4
|
MRS. FREEDLANDER: That's not the way it reads'.

|
THE CHAIRMAN: Let's go back to the language.
|
|

|
MR. MILES: The Committee recommends that the
|
|
7
|
new constitution retain the concept of having the creation
|
|
8
|
of any basic unit of government being submitted to the
|
|
9
|
voters of that new unit of government. The Committee
|
|
io
|
feels this calls for a referendum, should be specifically
|
|
11
|
required in the case of the creation of new counties or
|
|
12
|
any changing of existing county lines or the existing boun-
|
|
13
|
daries of Baltimore City. I agree with the language.
|
|
14
|
THE CHAIRMAN: It is focusing the matter.
|
|
15
|
DR. LOEVY: I think the history may help you to
|
|
16
|
understand. This Coisnittee originally did not propose
|
|
17
|
that there be any limitation on the right of the State
|
|
18
|
Legislature to change boundaries or create new units of
|
|
19
|
government. This continuation was added simply because
|
|
20
|
of criticism from the full Commission where this was con-
|
|
21
|
cerned. I think the Committee here is trying to go along
|
