NEW YORK, July s.-Legislative

sion II a court decision invalidating
the home rule amendment to the
State constitution and its enabling
act Is upheld.
Laws passed under constitutional
amendments dating back 81 years to
she adoption of the present constitu-
ton must be found void, James J
Hoey, chairman of the commission,
says, because the amendmen were
submitted TO the people by the Leg
islature in the same manner as the
home rule amendment. Included are
those dealing with the $4,000, 900
soldiers bonus, working mems COM
pensation and $500, 100000 in bond
issues. Bond specialists say. how
ever, that even If the issues should
be technically invalid, there is legal
precedent to compel payments of in
terest and principal.
City Elections May Go.
Third class cities are left without
any provision for holding elections
CARDS the legal entanglenents In
confusion.
Corporation Counsel George P.
Nicholson of New York is to seek a
stay OF execution of the decision and
file an appeal to the Court of Ap.
peals. The home rule commission
also plans proceedings.
The appellate division of the Su.
preme Court held that the Constitu.
tion required two successive Legisla-
lures 10 pass proposed amendment
3n the same form before ratification
by the people. The home rule amend
ment. the court declared. was slightly
changed before its second pa assage by
the Legislature. The home rule en-.
abltng act went into effect January
/, 1924. The amendment prohibited
the Legislature from passing laws
applying specially to one city. but
permitted such legislation when ap.
plicable to all cities.
Mr.. Hoey says that no amendment
adopted since 1894 has been read in
full and without change to two sue
cessive Legislatures.
