Your Committee On the Judiciary having
considered the resolution offered hy MI. Hell
donhain requesting All opinion whether
any change In tho city charter requires pub
lie notice IA provided for by article ~ of the

not consider that It Ia necessary to CIV" tht
thirty days notice required by arttcl" AZ o.
tho constitution Of Intention 10 apply TOR the
adoption of a new city charter. for the follow
ing REASONS
Article 254 Of the constitution provides aa
fotowa:

after the adoption of lhts constitution. ehal
enact auch legislation as may be proper tu
liuuidate the Indebtedness Of the city Of New
Olirana and apply itE assets III tho aat'aiac-
tipn thereof. ltHhall have authority to cancel
the charter Of said city VI New Orleans and
remit Its Inhabitants to another form OF gov
arnment In any such new form OF govern
mrnt no salary shall exceed &a5o0,'
by thts article the Legislature Ia clearly
given the right to adopt II new charter. This
Ia special exception to the general rule. The
right having been granted. no other formality
could possibly b. required IN order to &C
aurr X.
Tho article is imperative. It Ia healdea, a
permanent notice. inserted In the funda-
mental law, of which all men are ~ csumed td
have knowledge, of intention TO legislatc upon
the subject.
Again. In article 4G the creation Of u new
charter IL expressly taken out Of tho class ~
laws termed local or special" II therefore
could not hn included among the local Ut spn-
cial laws referred % by article ~.
In regard to other local or special leg ia-
lation your committee are of opinion tn at
there can he none without the thirty days
notice required by article Az unless the con-
stitution has expressly granted authority
to do 40 This authority has hnn granted In
i number Of special cases relative "a the city
~ New Orleans. such ~ fixing system 81
stamps Ia lieu Of fees TO clerks and other
officers: fixing duties Of officers OF courts

rights having been granted IL could scarcely
be urged that still further formality should
