might be- lie did not see how, if the orgiua
act is unconstitutional, the amendment would b,
any less 50. The original charter provides thnl
future Legislatures shall have power TO contro
the corporation, The decision Of the court is thai
if there is any power 10 change the charter it /,
in the Legislature, Now what is the object OF
