Waters, The Resolves, as finally passed, are as follow: That the Constitution be so revised, and altered, that the representation of the Commonwealth shall be apportioned as follows:— Every town, of a less number than one thousand inhabitants, shall be entitled to five representatives, in each ten years, with an additional representative for the year when the valuation of estates shall be settled. Any two of such towns may, by a vote of a majority of the legal voters present at a legal meeting in each of said towns respectively, called for that purpose, unite together in a district, which shall be entitled to a representative each year, and which shall continue not less than two years, excepting the year in which the valuation of estates shall be settled. Every town of one thousand inhabitants, and of less than four thousand, shall be entitled to one representative each year. Every town of four thousand inhabitants, and of less than eight thousand, shall be entitled to two representatives each year. Every town of eight thousand inhabitants, and of less than twelve thousand, shall be entitled to three representatives each year. Every city or town of twelve thousand inhabitants, shall be entitled to four representatives each year. Every city or town containing over twelve thousand inhabitants, shall be entitled to elect one additional representative for every five thousand inhabitants it may contain over twelve thousand. Resolved, That this apportionment be based upon the census of 1850, until a new census be taken. Resolved, That the Senate, at its first session after this Constitution shall have been adopted, and at its first session after the next State census shall have been taken, and at its first session next after each decennial State census thereafterwards, shall apportion the number of representatives to which each town and city shall be entitled, and shall cause the same to be seasonably published; and in all apportionments after the first, the number which shall entitle any city or town to two, three, four or more representatives, shall be increased or decreased in the same proportion as the population of the whole Commonwealth shall have increased or diminished since the last apportionment. Resolved, That no town hereafter be incorporated with a privilege of representation as such, containing less than fifteen hundred inhabitants. Resolved, That each city in this Commonwealth shall be divided, by such means as the legislature may provide, into districts of contiguous territory, as nearly equal in population as may be, for the election of representatives, which districts shall not be changed oftener than once in five years: provided, however, that no one district shall be entitled to elect more than three representatives.
