6 AMENDMENTS TO BE DISCUSSED Likely to Be Taken Up by Men Active in Republican Affairs Next Week With the election close at hand vot ers and men In public life throughout the State are commencing to sit up and take notice of the amendments to the Constitution proposed In resolutions to be voted upon during the next. ture so that they can go tf tlio people for. action. Kour resolutions were were adopted by the last session of the Legislature providing: for these amendments, and the members of the Legislature who will be elected this Fall and who meet In January next will also have to pass upon them. A resolution calling for an amendment to the Constitution must be approved by two succeeding Legislatures before It can be submitted to a vote of the peo ple. Of the resolution for proposed amendments which were passed at the last session of the Legislature, one calls for the flotation of a loan of 550,- 000.000 for the promotion of'good roads; one would permit of the consolidation of the Common Pleas Court of Phila delphia allowing of the creation of one court with one president Judge Instead of one for each of the Ave courts, as now called for In this city; another re lates to the acquisition of public lands by the State or any municipality and the other, which applies only to Phila delphia, has to do with the borrow ing capacity of this city. Rond I.nan Vote In 1018 Should the good roads' resolution be passed by the coming session of the Legislature, the proposition for the $50,000,000 ioan could not. however, he submitted to the people before the No vember election of 1918. This Is due to the fact that there Is a Constitution provision which reads; "No amend * ment or amendments shall be submitted oftener than once In live years." A proposed amendment for a SSO,- i 000,000 loan for good roads was defeat ed at the election In 1915. The suggested Philadelphia loan amendment is to change the amend ment approved by the people at the ' election in 1915. This amendment In- j creased the borrowing capacity of Phil adelphia from seven to ten per cent, j on the assessed property valuation and j stipulated that the money raised from j this Increase shall be used only for lm- j proving the transit and port facilities i of the municipality. The suggested! amendment to this amendment t would , permit of the use of the mofley raised ' from such loans for general municl- | pal improvements, thus removing the | restriction as to the transit and port i development. A question has been rais ed as to whether this proposed amend ment, If approved by the next session of the Legislature, will not have to be held until the election of November, 1920, before it can be submitted to a j popular lit". That would be done in! the event of a judicial decision that the ! amendment calling for a 3 per cent. in. j crease In the borrowing capacity In ) the amendment approved at the election : of 1915 is practically the same as that now under consideration. ' An lutereatlng Point It Is contended, however, that the Constitution restriction relative to tlia resubmission of an amendment not oft ener than once in Ave years applied only to suggested! amendments that liave been defeated by the people. The proposed mendmcnt relative to the acquisition of public lands provides that the State or any municipality In furtherance of plans for the acquisition and public use of property or rights Jiiay appropriate an excess of property over that actually to be used for pub lic use and may thereafter sell or lease such excess of property, and In thfe disposal of this excess the State or municipality may impose any restric tions necessary to preserve or enhance the benefit to the people of the prop erty actually used by the State or mu nicipality. Under such an amendment the State or any municipality could protect and regulate the surrounding or adjacent property of boulevards, parks or park ways or other public Improvements.
