has proven to be the best number of categories into which
|
|
2
|
there can be classification?

DEAN FORDHAM: I can't answer that.

THE CHAIRMAN: Insofar as counties are concerned
|
|
5
|
two or more, two, four, six, whatever the number may be,
|
|
6
|
or municipalities into two, four, or six? I notice your.

|

|
language has been according to population or any other
|
|
8
|
reasonable basis. What do you mean .by any other reasonable
|
|
9
|
basis?
|
|

|
DEAN FORDHAM; For example, it is not inappro-
|
|
11
|
priate to classify on geographical terms. In New Jersey,
|
|
12
|
for example, municipalities along the shore can be classi-
|
|
13
|
fied for such purposes as whether they should be empowered
|
|
14
|
to build boardwalks.
|
|
15
|
A lot of State constitutions forbid special and
|
|
16
|
local legislation as to local units of government under
|
|
17
|
which you can classify by population, and so forth, and
|
|
18
|
which don't expressly limit the number of classes. Some
|
|
19
|
states, like Pennsylvania, the constitution expressly
|
|
20
|
limits the number of classes.

THE CHAIRMAN: What advantage is there in limitings
