school CODE
CONSTITUTIONAL,
MR.. HILLES SAYS
Attorney Holds Law Re-
quired Only Majority
Vote in Legislature
SAfS PROVISIONS OF ACT
SHOULD Be Accepted

William s. Hilles. attorney. recently
at the request OF school district. made
a study OF the new school code and
gave the district officials written Opin-
ion, in which he holds that the law Is
constitutional.
It' has been repeatedly argued since
the code was passed by those opposed
10 IL FOR one reason or another that 10
was unconstitutional. One OF The rea-
sons most often advanced against the
code was that il was passed by only a
majority vote Of the Legislature when a
two-thlrds vote was necessary Mr.. Hi
les holds that a majority vote is SUM-
cient In his opinion and explains why
only a majority vote was required.
Because Of the Statewide interest
that the code has attracted the opinion
OF Mr.. llilles is doubly interesting at
this time. The opinion in part follows: /:
In accordance with your request.
have made as careful an examination OF
the act. approved April iith last. pro-
viding an entirely new School Code FOR
the state OF Delaware, as l have been
able.
while I, Of course, have not had suf-
fcient time TO pass finally upon the
question. / can see no reason to believe,
either that this act violates any cOnsti-
tutlonal provision. or Is IN any respect
beyond the power OF the Legislature.
On the contrary. Article 30 Of the Con
stltulon makes It mandatory upon the
General Assembly TO provide for the es-
tablishment~and maintenance OF a gem
