Amendment to state constitution proposed by General Assembly
At Providence session 1882 the General Assembly adopted Article V authorizing towns and cities to elect delegates to a constitutional convention to revise the constitution. Delegates would assemble and any revision must be submitted to voters with three-fifths approval. The surrounding correspondence discusses New York affairs, railroads, labor strikes, and a real estate title transfer proposal by Mr. Olmstead, with local commercial notes and Easter trade optimism.
