DEAN FORDHAM: Which their Court of Appeals
|
|
2
|
just upheld as a valid means of changing the constitution.
|
|
3
|
MR. BROOKS: Yes.
|
|
4
|
DEAN FORDHAM: I haven't seen this yet.
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: It seems to me they said in
|
|
6
|
slightly different words exactly what you have set out in
|
|
7
|
the model.
|
|

|
DEAN FORDHAM: This is a very progressive common
|
|
9
|
wealth, I assure you.
|
|

|
DR. LOEVY: Let me ask you about Alaska. Did
|
|
11
|
they adopt your broad grant idea with classification?
|
|
12
|
DEAN FORDHAM: I couldn't answer that offhand.
|
|
13
|
They have a rather simple situation. They have just a few
|
|
14
|
cities, no counties. This great open space, the constitu-
|
|
15
|
tion says they night be organized later on under the cap-
|
|
16
|
tion of borough -- that is spelled b-o-r-o-u-g-h, not
|
|
17
|
the miner's kind of burro.
|
|
18
|
DR. LOEVY: In other words, if we adopt this
|
|
19
|
broad grant of power, will Maryland really be the first
|
|
20
|
thickly populated state to have taken it on?
|
|
21
|
DEAN FORDHAM: No. Masschusetts has it up now
