TO CLEAR W
FOGGY POINTS IN
CONSTITUTION
REP. COLBY PREPARES AMEND
MENTs AND HOPES TO HAVE
THEM VOTED ON IN SPRING
ELECTION.

Sheridan ]. Colby has prepared .
number OF amendments TO the new
constitution which he wants to have
approved by the legislature 30 that
they can be voted on In the spring
election. The aim Of these IL to clear
up points In regard to home rule ana
local legislation where the present
wording OF the constitution In q trino
foggy.
"One OF the amendments will make
It possible for the legislature to make
more than one general law for cities
and villages. thus admitting OF amend
ment from time to time az neces-
sary." says Colby. municipalities
will also be given power to change
the bonding and taxation limit by .
two-thirds vote"
The amendments also provide for
the classification OF cities into two
divisions, those OF $4,000 inhabitants
and more and those OF less than that
number. Another provision IL that
present special acts may be repealed
by the legislature. Provision is more
clearly made for the passage of local
acts. such as might be needed for
issuance OF bonds for a convention
hall In Detroit, with a referendum at
tachment, when the courts decide It to
be necessary.
Another provision Is that all local
acts, as soon as signed by the gov
ernor. shall go to the supreme court
for q decision as to their necessity
and thus the danger OF a local act
being declared invalid after going to
a popular vote and being put into
effect is sought to be prevented.
Colby may take a hand In shaping
the home rule bill to be passed by
the legislature. his idea being that
power should be given to the common
council to initiate charter changes,
with the proviso that a charter re-
vision convention may be called by q
sufficiently large petition.

Detroit TO visit relatives at No. 1913
Fifth-st., brought the children as far
as Windsor. where she turned them

address. where he boards.

plans through drayman with whom
she had made arrangements TO take
her trunk TO the depot. Before leav-
ing for Detroit 10 look up his children
Symonds had her arrested on charge
OF abduction. II is not likely the charge
will stick, however, and there is no
disposition on Symonds' part to pros
ecute, now that the children have been
restored TO him. He declares he Is
through with his wife for good, how
ever.
Mcdonald went TO the Symonds
home I'm Brantford as boarder three
years ago. the husband says. Not
long afterwards he and Mrs. Symonds
disappeared. but Symonds later TOOK
his wife back for the children's sake.
