Description:
The Mayor speaks on the occasion of a convention in Albany for the purpose of revising the state constitution. ~ "I now respectfully beg of the convention, and most earnestly plead, that the proposed constitution should not be submitted as a single proposal. Please give to the people of the state the opportunity to vote separately on the various proposals." ~ Constitution changes would give to those outside of New York City 94 representatives; people in NYC would only get 65. ~ Regarding the housing amendment, asks for a separate vote. ~ Missing proposal: the right of the state to have complete control of the water and water power in its boundaries. ~ Judiciary article is most disappointing because it fails to provide for reorganization of courts. ~ Article 25, the Anna Swift Amendment, Grade crossing proposal, Transit unification proposal, Social welfare and civil rights proposal. Proportional representation - all must be separated.
