It will submit a number of proposed constltutiorml a- mondments to the voters. And a number local of these proposals will be that the people of th? intrested area may be concerned about a problem, but may be very much opposed to the solution, proposed by the legislature. I lect themselves against these mendmcnts? Al present lime, they cannot do so What is a local amendment? It is an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution that applies to a particular city, or parish, or district of the state. The people who Live in the rest of he sate are NOT sub- iect to the amendment. Yet as an Amendmen tution, such a the state consti- local -amendment must bo submitted to the voters of th 0 entire state.

Only one parish in the district (St. Martin) voted for thc proposal. Yet the state-wide vote- almost forced this plan upon thc pronosed twelve-parish district.
