“4. Such proposed amendment or amendments shall then be submitted to the people at the next general election in the form provided by the Legislature.”
The motion was seconded by Mr. Park and, on roll call, adopted by the following vote:
AYES: Carey, Delaney, Ferry, Glass, Katzenbach, Park, Pursel, Randolph, Schenk, Taylor – 10
NAYS: Stanger – 1
After other corrections in final draft of the recommendations of the Committee, with full comparison of the Committee Proposal with the 1844 Constitution, Mr. Park moved that it be the unanimous consent of the members of the Committee that they sign the report of the deliberations and recommendations of the Committee, known as the Committee Proposal, and also the Committee Report, as corrected, accompanying the Proposal. The motion was seconded by Mr. Glass and, on roll call, it was adopted by unanimous vote.
