Mr. Speaker announced the special order, being the bill (No. 143, Int. No. 30), entitled "Concurrent resolution of the Senate and Assembly proposing an amendment to section one of article two of the Constitution, in relation to qualification of voters." The Speaker. The Chair desires to make a statement. last evening the Goldberg amendment to the State Constitution was on the calendar by direction of the House. It was amended and the Chair entertained a motion to make it a special order on second and third reading to-day. In so doing the Chair was entirely within the rule, as Rule 6 says that all constitutional amendments shall be deemed to be bills for all legislative purposes. There is nothing in the rules that deals with the threeday provision on the desks of the members before final passage. That is a constitutional provision. However, after thinking it over very carefully the Chair is of the opinion that a constitutional amendment should at least be treated as important as a bill and, to avoid the danger of establishing the precedent that an amendment to the Constitution can be amended on the floor of the House in one day and receive its third and final reading the next day, the Chair now desires to rule on that point, and will therefore rule that this bill should be treated as every other legislative bill, and will therefore lay on the desks of the members three days.

On motion of Mr. Goldberg, and by unanimous consent, said bill was made a special order on second and third reading for Monday next, immediately after the reading of the journal.
