Opinion

October 2, 1940.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Fulton County.

Present — Hill, P.J., Crapser, Heffernan, Schenck and Foster, JJ.


The trial court held that the petition did not present an amendment, as contemplated by section 19-a of the City Home Rule Law, but was in effect a proposal to create a new city charter. In our view a mere inspection of the document presented sustains this decision. Order appealed from unanimously affirmed, with costs. Solely upon appellant's request we hereby certify that a question of law is presented which ought to be reviewed by the Court of Appeals.
