Considerable time was consumed on Thursday In the senate by a discussion of the. bill by Senator Whaley, of the Third district, providing for an amend ment tp that part of the constitution governing the creation of new counties. The bill provides that an election may be called by the governor when one-third of the voters In the territory proposed for a county shall so petition. The count? site may be selected by a majority vote and the new county by a two-thirds vote. After such proced ure, the general assembly shall estab lish such county at Its next session. The bill also provides that no coun tv shall be left with less than an area of 30 square miles or with assessed property less than one-half million dol lars, or lediiced to a population of less than 10,000. It is-also provided that no new coun ty shall be formed to contain less than 7,iOO bona fide Inhabitants, nor to have less taxable property than one million dollars nor contain less than 260 square miles. Senator Felder offered an amend ment making the area in both new and remaining counties 200 square miles. No little opposition developed and several speeches were made against it. Senator Felder championed the bill and pointed out how much better It was to • have a law speoiflcally governing the creutlon of new counties. He also showed that the matter must be passed upon by the people for ratification. Another amendment by Senator Hawes which put the question of the new county up to the voters of the countv affected Instead of to the vot ers in the area proposed for the new county. Senate.* Wilkes also spoke In favor of the measure and gave many reasons why a systematic method of creating new counties should be adopted. Two other amendments were offered providing for the assumption of a pro rata part of old debts by the new coun ties. The eeri&te adjourned at 12:20 with out having taken any action.
