turned over to a career Director

1951 and 1953, the 1955 General
Assembly "'tossed the hot pejitical
potato to a special study commiss
ion. That commission tossed the
potato right backhis week. SB 47
provides a new basis fojf apportion
ment, specifying that no county
may have over two senators and no
senatorial district may include
more than four counties. If the
four-county limitation should have
the effect of increasing the number
of senators beyond 50, apparently
some county entitled to two sena
tors would Jose one or some dis
trict having less than four counties
would have counties added, so that
the total number of senators would
not pass 50. House membership
would b6 increased from 120 to 130.
