THE AMENDMENT.

lNtH AMElNlfMt4AN
The amendments provide that the CONF
mlssionors be elected by the people and
that referendum vote be taken on the
subject OF issuance of bonds property
owners including women. only TO be
allowed 20 vote on the question; that the
legislature be empowered 10 name the
election officers; that q time and manner
OF repayment OF the loan be inserted in
the measure: that the petitions as clrcu-
lated be set forth. some claiming that
they we're ignorant OF what they signed,
and such other amendments as may be
deemed advisable.
In voting on the motion every one pres
ent had voice. including property own
ers, non-property owners and a number
OF small boys who were In the room.
As the measure now to be presented
stands. It cuts off Senator Smith and
Representative Wilson from voting for
commissioners or on the question OF bond
Issue and permits the small property own
er, be he white or black, 10 cast his bal
lot. There appears 20 be but little pos
sibiiity OF the measure becoming a law
as although Senator Smith will present
! Il as Is his duty II is scarcely 10 be
thought that he will advocate bill in
which he has no say regarding It's pro-
visions. Representative Wilson is in the
same position. II Is possible however
that the committee on cities and towns
may reject the measure entirely OF sub
stituto amendments to its own liking.
