as a cemetery and for the removal OF
bodies and monuments. The basi'
upon which the governor POUNDS his
veto is that it is piece of special
Legislation.
The act is no doubt unconstitu-
tional as special legislation" says the
governor, 'as it gives to one city OF
the state special powers and priv
leges, not possessed by others falling
within the same class. 1t has often
been held in this state that the legis-
lature may, under general laws, give
to this class of cities powers am
privileges not possessed by cities IN
other classes. but this act selects
the city of Elkhorn from among al
the other cities of the state and gives
to 1t the power to take and dispose
Of private property by proceedings in
accordance with the act while this
power is not conferred upon any other
city of the state. Such legislation
has often been condemned by the SUI
preme court as unconstitutional as
special legislation The object
sought to be accomplished by this
bill could no doubt be attained by
the er actment of a general law, appli-
cable to all cities, or perhaps by one
applicable to all cities within the
same class as the city of Elkhorn."
Mr. Sprague stated his disagree
ment with the legal conclusions OF
the executive, ard protested that he
mad not been given chance to De
heard on the bill before the governor
vetoed it. On his motion action on
the bill was deferred until April 10.
