QUESTION No. 1 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
Shall an amendment to the constitution relative to the apportion- ment of senatorial, representative and councillor districts, further de- scribed as follows:
The proposed amendment of the Constitution provides for the annulment of Article XXI of the Articles of Amendment of the Con- stitution 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 proposed amendment embodies in substance the following changes in and additions to said Articles XXI and XXII:
36
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
1. In proposed Article XXI, towns of twelve thousand inhabitants or more may be divided in forming representative districts. No pre- cincts, however, in such towns may be divided. In taking the census the special enumeration of legal 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 voters in a precinct is required.
2. The division of a county into representative districts and the. apportionment of representatives to districts therein is to be made by "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, . ." 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 commissioners 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 towns 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 after each assignment by the Legislature of the number of representatives to each county, to a time within thirty days after cer- tification 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 enumeration shall be the basis for determining the districts, senatorial, representative and councillor, for the ten-year period beginning in the fourth January following said special enumeration and the present division of districts is to remain in effect until January, 1939. Under the existing amend- ments 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 amend- ments representation of newly created districts begins in January of the second year after each ten-year census, 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 hy judicial proceedings. The existing amendments contain no provision that. itself limits or authorizes the Legislature to limit such time.

REPORT OF TOWN CLERK
PERAMBULATION OF TOWN LINE, OCT. 16, 1930
BETWEEN LYNNFIELD AND LYNN FOR THE YEAR 1930
In compliance with Chapter 42 Section 2, of the General Laws, and with an invitation from the City Clerk of Lynn, the Board of Selectmen met a delegation of the Lynn City Government at a granite monument,. marking the Lynnfield and Saugus line on Broadway, Lynnfield, Oct. 16, 1930, and proceeded to view the markers between Lynn and Lynn- field. All markers viewed were found to be in satisfactory condition with the exception of one on Salem Street, which had evidently been hit by an automobile. It was thought advisable to have some sort of a marker in the road where the Lynn and Lynnfield line comes to an: apex, at the junction of Lynnfield Street and Salem Street.

Gentlemen:
The undersigned inhabitants of the Town of Lynnfield respectfully represent that that portion of the way known as Main Street in said town which lies between the Wakefield town line and a point about one- half (1/2) mile north of Lynnfield Centre at the end of the alteration as made by the County Commissioners in 1929, is unsuited to the present requirements of traffic, and in parts narrow and the lines thereof un- certain, so that common convenience and necessity require that the said way within the limits above named be altered or relocated and that specific repairs be made thereon.
Wherefore, they pray that after due notice and a hearing, you may alter or relocate the said way and discontinue any portions thereof which by reason of your action may no longer be required, and that you may order specific repairs to be made on the said way, all as in your- judgment may be necessary.
