The Court stood Sin favor Of constitutional
ify Df the BILL to against. The dissenting
Judges being Mcssrs. Brown and Comstock;
Judge Brown also delivered an opinion, he dis
sents from the opinion which declares constitu-
tional and recognizes the division Of the cities
and counties as then existing ndsaya although
their limits can be altered and modified by
agreement and cities can be consolidated, the
Legislature has no power 70 join cities and
counties In one district for the purpose of
police Or any other local agreement He de-
clares that BY article 80, section 2. the constitu-
tional method Of appointing city and county
officers Is distinctly set forth, and he maintains
thst ~ regards the police and the city oficers
the court must either construe the constitution
20 that local rights and privileges expressly
mentioned, and never till now questioned, shall
remain to be exercised and enjoyed BY the lo-
cal community, or else sanction constitution
which may, and indirectly, can hardly fail to
excite them altogether; the Judgment Of the
Supreme Court should therefore be reversed.-
Judge Comstock concurs in the opinion Of Judge
Brown.
