or no opposition in the le g isla tu re . as it
simply provides for the subm ission of
the question to th e votes of th e people
in the districts which it is proposed to
consolidate, hut th ere may lie some op­
position to the details of th e scheme.
How th e people in th e great cities su r­
rounding New York will receive th e

determ ined when th e vote is tak en .
There will probably be strong opposition
on the p art of some of the office holders,

all these contiguous cities will probably
appeal to th e pride of citizens in general.
