them and to me, should you grant the
request of the Los Angeles delegation.
you should also hear the delegations
from other cities of the State.

with them are at stake, and, while
have no objection to this proposed
legislation going into the call, / would
also recommend that suggestions be
received from other cities

solved to extend like privileges to
other delegations, providing the legis-
tion asked for consist only of consti-
tutional amendments and that the
privilege is extended to Los Angeles.
