Question No. 1
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
Shall an amendment to the constitution relative to the apportionment of senatorial, representative and counciller districts, further described as follows :
The proposed amendment of the Constitution provides for the annulment of Article XXI of the Articles of Amend- ment of the Constitution and the substitution therefor of a new Article XXI, and for the annulment of Article XXII of the Articles of Amendment of the Constitution and the substitution therefor of a new Article XXII. The pro- posed amendment embodies in substance the following changes in and additions to said Articles XXI and XXII.
1. In proposed Article XXI, towns of twelve thousand inhabitants or more may be divided in forming representa- tive districts. No precincts, however, in such towns may be divided. In taking the census the special enumeration of le- gal voters shall specify the number residing in each precinct of such towns. Under existing Amendment XXI no town may be divided and no specification of the number of vot- ers in a precinct is required.
2. The division of a county into representative districts and the apportionment of representatives to districts there- in is to be made by "The county commissioners or other body acting as such or, in lieu thereof, such board of spec- ial commissioners in each county as may for that purpose be provided by law,. ... " Under Article XXI as it now stands the division and apportionment is made by "The mayor and aldermen of the city of Boston, the county com-
20
EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
missioners of other counties than Suffolk,-or in lieu of the mayor and aldermen of the city of Boston, or of the county commissioners in each county other than Suffolk, such board of special commissioners in each county, to be elected by the people of the county, or of the town therein,
as may for that purpose be provided by law, .... "
The
time for assembling of such commissioners, board or body for the purpose of making such division and apportionment is also changed, from the first Tuesday of August next af- ter each assignment by the Legislature of the number of representatives to each county, to a time within thirty days after certification by the Secretary of the Commonwealth to such commissioners, board or body of the number so assigned, or within such other period as the General Court may by law provide.
3. Under the proposed Articles, each special enumera- tion shall be the basis for determining the districts, sena- torial, representative and councillor, for the ten-year per- iod beginning in the fourth January following said special enumeration and the present division of districts is to re- main in effect until January, 1939. Under the existing amendments the ten-year period is the period between the taking of each census. (Thus, the next redivision based upon the next census in 1935 would, under the proposed Articles, affect those elected in 1938 to hold office beginning in. January,. 1939, instead of affecting those elected in 1936 to hold office beginning in January, 1937. Under existing amendments representation of newly created districts be- gins in January of the second year after each ten-year cen- sus, whereas under the proposed article it would begin in January of the fourth year thereafter.) The number of representatives (240), senators (40) and councillors (8). is not changed.
4. The Legislature may limit the time within which a division of representative, councillor or senatorial districts may be questioned by judicial proceedings. The existing;
21

amendments contain no provision that itself limits or auth- orizes the Legislature to limit such time, which received in a joint session of the two Houses held May 17, 1928, 182 votes in the affimative and 48 in the negative, and at a joint session of the two Houses held May 26, 1930, received 155 votes in the affirmative and 88 in the negative, be approved ?
