Asheville, Aug. Estate Treasurer
Charles M. Johnson today told muni-

should be submitted to the people a
constitutional amendment comforting
"home rule" on the States municipal
tiles and abolishing the great mass of
local legislation enacted by every
General Assembly.
The treasurer, who is chairman of
a commission appointed by Governor

ton of local legislation, made the fol-
lowing specific recommendations:
Cd Since the functions of NUM-
cipality are chiefly local, concerning
only the inhabitants of the municipal
ity as distinguished from the citiZenry
of the State as a whole, broad discre-
tionary powers should be conferred
upon municipalities.
(2) In future legislation, the legis-
Iature should differentiate between
matters of local concern and those of
Statewide import, and leave the for
mer largely to local determination.

should be submitted by the legislature
