WARRANT FOR STATE ELECTION Tuesday, November 4, 1930.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Norfolk, ss.
To either of the constables of the Town of Franklin, in said County of Norfolk :
You are hereby required in the name of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, to notify and warn the quali- fied voters of the Town of Franklin to assemble in their Town Hall, on Tuesday, the Fourth Day of November, 1930, it being the Tuesday after the first Monday of said November, at six o'clock in the forenoon, then and there to bring in their votes upon one ballot for the election of a Governor ; Lieutenant Governor; Secretary ; Treas- urer ; Auditor ; Attorney General; Senator in Congress ; Congressman; Councillor; Senator; Representative in General Court (1); District Attorney ; Register of Pro- bate and Insolvency; County Commissioner; Associate County Commissioners (2) ; County Treasurer ; and also upon the same ballot to vote upon the following
QUESTIONS:
Acceptance of the following "PROPOSED AMEND- MENT TO THE CONSTITUTION."
Question No. 1
Article XXI of the Articles of Amendment is hereby annulled and the following is adopted in place thereof :
Article XXI. In the year nineteen hundred and thirty- five and every tenth year thereafter a census of the in- habitants of each city and town shall be taken and a special enumeration shall be made of the legal voters therein. Said special enumeration shall also specify the
2199
number of legal voters residing in each precinct of each precinct of each town containing twelve thousand or more inhabitants according to said census and in each ward of each city. Each special enumeration shall be the basis for determining the representative districts for the ten year period beginning with the first Wednes- day in the fourth January following said special en- umeration ; provided, that such districts as established in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-six shall continue in effect until the first Wednesday in January in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-nine.
The house of representatives shall consist of two hun- dred and forty members, which shall be apportioned by the general court, at its first regular session after the return of each special enumeration, to the several coun- ties of the commonwealth, equally, as nearly as may be, according to their relative numbers of legal voters, as ascertained by said special enumeration; and the town of Cohasset, in the county of Norfolk, shall, for this pur- pose, as well as in the formation of districts as herein- after provided, be considered a part of the county of Ply- mouth; and it shall be the duty of the secretary of the commonwealth to certify, as soon as may be after it is determined by the general court, the number of repre- sentatives to which each county shall be entitled, to the board authorized to divide such county into representa- tive districts. The county commissioners or other body acting as such or, in lieu thereof, such board of special commissioners in each county as may for that purpose be provided by law, shall, within thirty days after such certification by the secretary of the commonwealth or within such other period as the general court may by law provide, assemble at a shire town of their respec- tive counties, and proceed, as soon as may be, to divide the same into representative districts of contiguous territory and assign representatives thereto, so that each representative in such county will represent an equal number of legal voters, as nearly as may be; and such districts shall be so formed that no town contain- ing less than twelve thousand inhabitants according to said census, no precinct of any other town and no ward of a city shall be divided therefor, nor shall any district
.
2200
be made which shall be entitled to elect more than representatives. The general court may by law limit the time within which judicial proceedings may be insti- tuted calling in question any such apportionment, di- vision or assignment. Every representative, for one year at least immediately preceding his election, shall have been an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen, and shall cease to represent such district when he shall cease to be an inhabitant of the commonwealth. The districts in each county shall be numbered by the board creating the same, and a description of each, with the numbers thereof and the number of legal voters therein, shall be returned by the board, to the secretary of the commonwealth, the county treasurer of such county, and to the clerk of every city or town in such county, to be filed and kept in their respective offices. The manner of calling and conducting the elections for the choice of representatives, and of ascertaining their election, shall be prescribed by law.
Article XXII of the articles of amendment is hereby annulled and the following is adopted in place thereof :
Article XXII. Each special enumeration of legal vot- ers required in the preceding article of amendment shall likewise be the basis for determining the senatorial dis- tricts and also the councillor districts for the ten year period beginning with the first Wednesday in the fourth January following such enumeration; provided, that, such districts as established in the year nineteen hun- dred and twenty-six shall continue in effect until the first Wednesday in January in the year nineteen hun- dred and thirty-nine. The senate shall consist of forty members. The general court shall, at its first regular session after the return of each special enumeration, divide the commonwealth into forty districts of con- tiguous territory, each district to contain as nearly as may be, an equal number of legal voters, according to said special enumeration; provided, however, that no town or ward of a city shall be divided therefor; and such districts shall be formed, as nearly as may be. with- out uniting two counties, or parts of two or more coun- ties into one district. The general court may by law limit the time within which judicial proceedings may be in-
2201
stituted calling in question such division. Each dis- trict shall elect one senator, who shall have been an inhabitant of this commonwealth five years at least immediately preceding his election, and at the time of his election shall be an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen; and he shall cease to represent such sen- atorial district when he shall cease to be an inhabitant of the commonwealth.
