History. Source: L. 1899: P. 359, § 1. R.S. 08: § 1147. C.L. § 8631. CSA: C. 44, 74. CRS 53: § 34-1-69 . C.R.S. 1963: § 34-1-69 .    ANNOTATION   Constitutionality. The act of 1899 from which this section derives under the title “to establish the county of Teller and the temporary county seat thereof”, is not in contravention of § 21 of art. V, Colo. Const., providing that no bill shall be passed containing more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in the title, because the one subject of the act was “to establish the county of Teller”, and each of the provisions following as specified in the title relates to the necessary incidents in establishing a new county; and the fact that certain of the incidents to the establishing of a new county are specified in the title does not limit the act to the particular matters detailed and exclude other matters necessary to the general purpose of the act. Frost v. Pfeiffer, 26 Colo. 338 , 58 P. 147 (1899).   Section 3 of art. XIV, Colo. Const., which provides that “no part of the territory of any county shall be stricken off, and added to an adjoining county without first submitting the question to the qualified voters of the county from which the territory is proposed to be stricken off, nor unless a majority of all the qualified voters of said county, voting on the question, shall vote ”therefor“, does not restrict the power of the general assembly to create new counties from territory embraced in one or more existing counties.
