YOUR FUTURE GOVERNMENT
(Continued from Page 6)
-—City Organization—
Now let us consider the organi
zation of cities. The manner in
which cities will be incorporated,
merged* consolidated, classified,
reclassified or dissolved must be
provided by legislature. Each citj
will be part of the borough in
which it is located and will have
its own governing body, the coun
cil.
—Home Rules Charters—
In time, the legislature will pro
vide laws to enable any first class
borough or first class city to adopt
amend or repeal a home rule
charter. In the absence of suet
legislation, the governing body oi
the group concerned will provide
the procedure for preparation anti
adoption or rejection of charters
These charters shall be submitted
to the qualified voters of the area
concerned and will become effec
tive upon a majority approval of
those voting on the matter. This
Constitutional clause will give
cities the opportunity to “clean
house” as far as outdated or in
effective rules and ordinances are
concerned. Such charters will need
to be carefully prepared and
studied, with adequate hearings,
to truly represent the voice of the
people.
—Extended Home Rule—
The legislature may, if it wishes,
extend home rule to boroughs or
cities not under the “first class'’
‘ title, and any home rule borough
! or city may then exercise all
legislature powers not prohibited
. by law or by charter.
