1'i-sident Wllliam C. Radfleld, of ihe Loyal
Leaguera had his forcea on hand, and, when
called upon by ti." chalrman, introdu ed Robert
1). Benedicl to make the flral argument.
Mr. Benedicl began by aaylng that he waa on
I as belng unaltarably npposed to the
iirii-.n rif Brooklyn nnd New-York; that lt waa
? aalble under the Oonatltutlon to effect tho
I . . .j unlon. There were, he said. two re*
aulta thal w.'iiid follow the adoptlon of tha
; litlon to eonaolldate the two cltlet; Brat,
the Boarda of Bupervlaorg would be rt-eatab*
, |n the - lUntlwi of Ktngg and New-York.
boerfds would have the aame powera aa
to expendlturea aa the Boarda of Bupervlaora In
the other countleg of ti"- Btata Becond, the
power to contrad debt, whlch by the Conatltu
t, m is now Ji.nited ln Brooklyn and New-Tork to
i" per oent <>f the aaaesaed valuatlon, would then
be mci^auatd 10 -" !">' ??lt, of doubH
?An-, one." he aald, "who wiahea euch g re*
gull has it in hla power to favor a Uke propoal
t? .ti. reajardleag of the provlglong of the Cotv
gtltutlon.
The Constitution provldea that "there ahall
be in tn.- aeveral countlea, excepl ln dtlea
whi.ae boundarlea are the gaoni as thoae of a

J7 provldea that the "Latglalature ahall by K'-n

"It needa no argument," aald Mr, Benedlct, "to

Mr Benedlct proceaded t>. take up another

there waa a provlao whloh aald that any legiala

the Mayor of that clty for approval and th:,, be
ah iuld ha\e a particular and quallfled veto i>-? ^er.
"Should the l.ill pi.-s." he aald, "an.l become a

ln answti- to a question at thla polnl by Ml
I^ex iw, who ask-d if Mr. Benedicl dld nol belleve
that future h-^islation would louk oat for that.
Mr. Benedlct replled:
"Tea But to whom would the bill b,- submit

as you bave pi >p >aed to take place in 1897? Who
would I..- Mayor ot the clty? There la no clauae

Mr. Lex iw aaked "Why doeg :t nol come under

Mr. Benedlct replled: 'Becauae the Cona'.ltu
