PREFACE

This volume contains the proceedings before the Committee on Rights, Privileges, Amendments and Miscellaneous Provisions and the Committee on the Legislative.

Schenk was elected Chairman, Robert Carey, Vice-Chairman and Lawrence N. Park, Secretary.

The Committee met on 13 different Convention days. All interested persons and groups were invited to present their views in person or to comment on the proposals before the Committee.
