formed by the Municipal Assembly OF the
"cty of Nev-York or the Borough Board OF
..the borough of Richmond rs herein provided
When the passage Of the Greater NewforE
act was under consideration the point was
raised that under the Constitution 1t would be
necessary TO revive the Boards Of Supervisors
in New York and Kings counties, which wonid
load to much confusion i'm the transaction OF
nuhIic business and the same view was taken
Inv Governor Morton in his memorandum CIV
ing the reasons for his approval of the Dill.
He held that these county officials would have
IN continue i'm existence Until constitutional
amendment should be adopted doing away with
them The basis of that opinion Is TINS pro-
vision of the Constitution of the State: There
"shall be in the several counties. except i'll cities
"whose boundaries are the same as those or
"tbe county, . Board of Supervisors. to be
"composed of such members, and elected In
"such manner. and for such period as Is or may
"bc provided by law" There is no doubt that
at the present time Ncw-York and Brooklyn are
..ctics whose boundaries are the same as those
of the county," and Ncw-Yorl and Kings are
tho only counties in the state in which Boards
of Supervisors have been abolished. But when
Greater New-York is cstabshed-if it is-the
language cover, the case of three counties
which, together with part of a fourth. are
Joined in one city. There are lawyers OF
course. who will bring forward any number OF
able arguments 10 prove that this Is the case.
Ordinary common-sense will be inclined TO take
the opposite view.
Ultimately the question will come before the
courts for settlement. What that settlement
will be it is impossible to foresee. 1t Is to be
hoped tina. it will be decided that no Super
viSors are necessary If the contrary view IS
maintained 1t will certainly lead to much con-
fusion. At all events there will be an anon
alous condition Of things in the fact that the
Queens County section Of the big city will have
its Supervisors with duties rot easy to define.
What is required. if the Greater New-iork plan
is to be finally perfected, is The adoption OF a
constitutional amendment doing away abso-
lutcly with Supervisors in the enlarged city
